Here's an interesting story about a woman who, as a girl, participated
in the death of her mother and now seeks to be released. The full
story is at:
http://tinyurl.com/f7h38
She helped kill her mother and was locked up. Adele Horin reports on
the young woman doctors say is no longer a danger, but whom the
Government will not release.
SHE is so gentle and polite as she offers tea and biscuits in a
child-like voice that it defies imagination Kylie Fitter helped kill
her mother in a crime of biblical proportions.
Seated in the living room of an inner-city terrace, the willowy,
20-year-old spun-sugar blonde, sweetness itself, is out on weekend
leave from jail. But in the view of her many supporters, Kylie is a
political prisoner.
Neither the neighbours who tried to save Kylie's mother as she ran into
the street on October 16, 2001, nor the man walking his dog, the woman
watering her garden, nor the two girls on their way to school could
forget the horror that unfolded before them.
In the quiet, semi-rural community of Glossodia, near Richmond, Fiona
Fitter, 35, was running for her life. In pursuit were her 18-year-old
son, carrying a large knife in each hand and screaming incoherently,
her husband, and her 15-year-old daughter.
Some neighbours went to call police, others tried to intervene as the
husband cried: "She deserves it." Onlookers watched in horror as Mrs
Fitter raced into a neighbour's house, only to see her son smash down
the front door, and Mrs Fitter re-emerge, screaming in terror.
It was almost 9am, when Mrs Fitter, in her nurse's uniform, having
returned home after night shift at Westmead Hospital, was chased and
tackled to the ground by her son. She broke free and ran her last few
metres. The young man fended off neighbours with the knives. Then,
husband, son and daughter dragged Mrs Fitter into the front yard of a
house, where the two men finished her off.
As she lay moaning, they plunged the knives several times into her
body, and drove surgical needle holders through her nostril into her
brain. The older man shouted that his wife was Satan; that she was
going to die.
Kylie Fitter, the NSW Supreme Court found a year later, had taken part
in the "concerted attack on the quarry with no less an intent than to
kill". Justice Graham Barr said she had dragged her mother and "kicked
her, punched her and held her legs as the attack was carried out".

Isn't this the oddest crime? Horrible too. Shared psychosis on the part of
the dad and son, scary stuff. I wish we could get more of a flavor for
the mum's personality and habits were like. I can't imagine her terror andcaring
that of the neighbors too that day. This young woman is so lucky such
people got involved. I still don't know that I would be as confident asthey
are that she will be safe and healthy for the rest of her life, tho I wanthas
to. I suppose the proof will be in the pudding, when and if someday she
children of her own. She sounds like she 'gets it' (insight about self),
maybe better than most people, actually, so that's encouraging.

What a horrendous story. I'm speechless.
