Crimes Against Elderly: Son Unremorseful Over Killing Mother (NSW. Australia)

I wish I'd murdered mother earlier: killer
December 5, 2008

A man who stabbed his fiesty environmentalist mother to death says his only regret is that he didn't murder her 20 years ago, a Sydney court has been told.

Adam Patrick Owens, 33, of Cremorne on Sydney's north shore, has admitted murdering his mother Doris Owens, 69, between September 6 and 9, 2006.

The body of the woman, known as a staunch environmental campaigner in the seaside village of Swanhaven, near Sussex Inlet on the NSW south coast, was not found until September 12, 2006.
Owens pleaded guilty to her murder moments before he was due to face trial last month.

Justice Lucy McCallum will hand down a sentence on December 19.
