A NEW Zealand teenager who axed her mother to death as she watched TV soap Coronation Street has been sentenced to life in prison.

Bonny McIntyre was 16 last November when she went to her mother's house and hit her a dozen times about the head and neck with an axe as she sat in her lounge watching television.

At the time, her 15-year-old brother was in a nearby room.

He did not hear the attack but later found his mother, Moera McIntyre, dead in a pool of blood.

As McIntyre was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch today, family members gave victim impact statements and spoke directly to her, saying: "Look at what you have done to us. Do you know what you have done to our family?"

Several times she responded saying "I don't know".

Name suppression was lifted at the request of the family.

I don't know what is worse: the fact that the mother was brutally murdered with a stump splitter by her obviously self-centered, arrogant and violent sociopath daughter (yes, I've read some of the history of the family on NZ news sites.... the mother predicted that the daughter would do something, one day, that would see someone badly hurt or killed only weeks beforehand), or that the last thing she saw was Coronation Street.

I blame New Zealand.
