A Mississauga teenager accused of drowning her mother in a bathtub confessed she first considered getting her drunk enough to pass out on a bed so she could set it on fire, a court heard yesterday.
Instead, the teen crafted a plan that "was just a lot less
messy" and which involved holding her alcoholic
mother's head underwater for four minutes, the girl said
on secretly recorded conversations that were shown in a
Brampton courtroom yesterday.
"
It
was either me or [my mother]
and I'm younger so I
saw myself as having more potential," the young
woman, who is now 19 years old, was heard saying on
the videotapes.

old mother on Jan. 18, 2003. The drowning was
first ruled accidental. The girls were 15 and 16 years
old at the time, but were not charged until more than a
year later. They elected to stand trial in front of a judge
without a jury.
The sisters, who are out on bail, cannot be named under
the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The identities of others
--
including their mother
--
who would identify them
also cannot be disclosed.
In his opening statement, Deputy Crown Attorney
Michael Cantlon
claimed both sisters "planned the
deliberate death of their mother" by having the
intoxicated woman consume Tylenol 3 and helping her
into a bathtub.
