Woman tells 999 operator 'I just killed my mother' after strangling her

The moment a woman calmly told police 'I just killed my mother' after failing to take her own life on Christmas Day has been played to a jury in court. Stefania Glowka, 64, has gone on trial accused of murdering her 86-year-old mother Tamara Glowka, who she strangled with a belt in what prosecutors described as a 'very deliberate act of violence'. The court heard the defendant had been a sole carer for her mother for 17 years, 'could no longer cope', and had also sought to take her own life by stabbing herself in the stomach and the neck. But her attempts to end her life failed and she was later arrested for murder while being treated in an ambulance outside her home in Keepers Road, Devizes, Wiltshire. Glowka has admitted the killing and pleaded guilty to manslaughter - but denies murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
