Teen documents attempted murder of parents on film

Posted January 29th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.dailymail.co.uk

Perhaps this budding teen Sofia Coppola hasn’t heard of a thing called “props” or “special effects”:

A schoolgirl movie maker filmed herself as she tried to murder her parents in their living room, a jury heard today…

In the video, the girl first filmed herself as she sat in her bedroom dressed in a silk nightgown and discussing what she planned to do to her parents, who were downstairs. The film then switched to the downstairs living room.

The girl’s mother could be seen sitting at the computer unaware of what was about to happen. In the background, the commentary of a televised rugby match could be heard and the jury were told her father was sitting on a sofa watching the match.

As the film continued, the girl then walked up to her mother, standing directly behind her and then looping a length of cord around her neck…

The mother then says to the girl “You are strangling me” and calling her husband’s name out loud she tells him “She is strangling me.” The figure of the father then appears in view as he makes his way towards his wife and daughter with his back to the camera.

As he faces the girl, there is a sudden movement and he screams out “You tried to stab me! You tried to stab me!”

A note to all you young folks out there — if you’re planning on murdering your parents in cold blood, best not to leave around videos as evidence, no matter how cool they’re gonna look on your MySpace page.
