A woman used a knife to slit the throat of her 81-year-old mother and told her she was "going straight to the Lord", a Perth court has heard.

Tania Denise Shayler is on trial in the West Australian Supreme Court charged with murdering Margaret Mitchell in Stratton in June 2017 but claims she is not guilty due to unsoundness of mind.Video played to the court yesterday showed the moment Ms Shayler took a container of Ms Mitchell's blood to WA's Parliament House at 2.45am, just a few hours after the alleged murder.

She appeared to place the container on the building's steps, kneel down and make the sign of the cross. The court heard that Ms Shayler, 49, had a long history of mental illness dating back to 1985 and had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.

Former judge takes aim at 'absolutely ruthless and lethal' womenFormer Supreme Court chief justice Marilyn Warren has spoken out against women not supporting other women. Why does this article exist? The reported discussion does not match the headline. How does raising this help? Or is it supposed to be ‘balance’? Stinks to high heaven What Marilyn Warren says about women is so true and exists at the level of something so insignificant as school committees (even tuckshops) to management in business and universities. The first thing most women do when they get a bit of power is to keep other women down. Otherwise known as relational aggression and is prolific amongst Australian women.

Sydney stadium debate more to do with blood politics than sportThe drama surrounding the redevelopment of Sydney's stadiums has less to do with the sporting events they are designed to host and everything to do with politics, writes Richard Hinds. When your right your right comen sense Let the spectators and professional sports clubs pay. . Apart from Todd Greenberg and blindly rusted on Lib voters, no rugby leafue fan thinks this stadium needed replacing. It's a disgraceful waste of money and the media has allowed it to happen without debate. ABC failed in its purpose.
