Carol Ann Cameron, 63, originally from Uphall, West Lothian, was killed by her son Callum Cameron at her house in Australia in August 2020.
A man has been found guilty of murdering his Scottish mother by stabbing her 62 times while high on drugs at their home in Australia.
Judge Justice Joseph McGrath has now ruled Cameron was aware of his actions and found him guilty of murder. The court heard the mother and son argued after Cameron refused to get in an ambulance with the medical staff when they arrived at the property.

"I accept that the killing was not premeditated. Rather, I find that the accused became angry and acted with purpose by inflicting the violent attack." The trial was conducted without a jury due to the complex medical evidence involved. "I am satisfied that the accused did know what he was doing at the relevant time. That is, the accused knew that he was stabbing a person and that the person was the deceased.
