Two teens murdered mother in takeover plan

A tragic case has come to light in a Victorian court, where two teenagers are accused of murdering a mother. The boys, armed with knives and a cricket bat, allegedly attacked the woman in a violent rage while pursuing a bizarre plan to take over Australia. The mother, who was 41 years old, suffered severe injuries. According to prosecutors, she was stabbed 98 times and struck with a cricket bat after she questioned the boys' actions. Despite her injuries, she managed to tell police that her son was involved in the attack before she died in the hospital. The accused are a 17-year-old boy, who has pleaded guilty to murder, and his 14-year-old friend. They reportedly spent months planning violent acts, including attacks on police and a desire to create a pro-Christian army. The court heard that they feared the mother might interfere with their plans. On the night of the murder, the mother served the boys dinner before they began drinking alcohol and taking selfies with weapons. Her younger son heard her screams as the attack unfolded and ran to alert the police. By the time authorities arrived, the mother was gravely injured, and she died shortly after. In court, family members expressed their grief over the loss of a "wonderful mother." A psychiatrist testified that the boys shared delusional beliefs that influenced their actions. He noted that the older boy had been diagnosed with autism and a delusional disorder. During the proceedings, the defense attorney argued for a more lenient sentence due to the boy's age and mental health issues. The court will continue to hear testimonies as it prepares for sentencing.
