Video has surfaced of a 92-year-old mother confessing to shooting her 72-year-old son dead after he threatened to put her in a nursing home. Anna Mae Blessing was arrested last year for shooting her son Thomas dead. Blessing, who dies in November in hospice care while awaiting trial, says in a video interview with police that she had two guns stashed inside her dressing gown. She told police that as Thomas came towards her she fired multiple rounds at her only son. “I can’t remember the calibre, it was a good size one,” she said. “I backed up and I pulled the trigger, and it broke the mirror and I don’t know what I did. Then Tom was going to come at me again so I pulled the trigger … I’m sure the second round hit him.”

A Petone man who decapitated his elderly neighbour believed he was responsible for his being evicted. Eugene Baker has admitted murdering 71-year-old Francis Tyson in November last year. Both men dealt synthetic drugs from their Jackson Street Housing New Zealand flats. In the days leading up to the killing, Baker had a number of arguments with Tyson around dealing. He believed the pensioner was an informant for Housing New Zealand and was to blame for his eviction notice. The 42-year-old will be sentenced in June.
