Police on Monday charged a 21-year-old Hanna Bennis in court for stabbing her mother, Aziza Bennis, 58, more than 30 times at her home in west London.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Hanna filmed a bloodstained knife and the “murder” scene on her phone after the incident.
Hanna is charged with the murder of her mother Aziza, a 58-year-old waitress at a west London house.
Daily Mail reports that police entered the property in Boddington Gardens, Ealing, after screams were reported around 3:40pm on Monday.
Aziza was found lying on the ground after suffering multiple stab wounds, with a fatal injury to her right thigh, according to an autopsy that confirmed her cause of death as multiple stab wounds.
According to the Daily Mail, Hanna was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder.
She appeared in court via video link from HMP Bronzefield on Friday and confirmed her identity before Judge Philip Katz set a timeline for the case.
Prosecutors’ attorney Joel Smith said Hanna was involved in a “fickle relationship” with her mother.
The trial judge has scheduled a hearing for November 4th. Judge Katz remanded Hanna ahead of the hearing and set her trial for July 31, 2023, the Daily Mail reports.
