What is going on there??

A MOTHER threatened to kill her toddler son a year before violently shaking him and dumping his body in a suitcase, a Sydney court has been told.

Two-year-old Dean Shillingsworth's body was found in a suitcase in a duck pond at a park in south-west Sydney in October 2007.

Rachel Pfitzner, his mother, pleaded guilty to his murder in August.

At her NSW Supreme Court sentencing hearing in Sydney today, the court was told she had threatened to kill her son rather than return him to his grandmother, Ann Coffey.

"I will kill Dean before he goes back to Ann," Pfitzner said a year before the murder, the court was told.

There was a continuing custody dispute between Pfitzner and Ms Coffey.

The court also was told Ms Pfitzner was on a suspended sentence for a violent crime when the murder occurred.

Crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC said Pfitzner was "irrational" in her hatred of her son, who reminded her of her estranged lover.

Mr Tedeschi said Pfitzner believed the child was provoking her.

"On one hand, she wanted to be seen as the mother of the child," Mr Tedeschi said.

In a victim's impact statement read to the court, Ms Coffey said Dean acted differently when around his mother.

"I was Dean's grandmother, friend and protector," she said.

"He was scared of his mother and would run away and hide when he thought she was coming."

The statement was read to the court by Detective Sergeant Andrew Marks - the officer in charge of the case.

Ms Coffey said she now struggled with alcohol dependency and had been admitted to hospital on numerous occasions since her grandson's death.

"I feel so down and out and can't find happiness. I use alcohol to block everything out," she said.

"I am very lonely without my beautiful grandson.

"I cry every night because I hear him everywhere. I feel like I am going mad."

The hearing, before Justice Robert Hulme, will resume in the same court on November 27.

It's a sick and perverted island continent, which through too much inbreeding of humans and sheep has produced these mutated weirdos. Some of them even moved to the DC suburbs, last I heard.

At least she'll only get a few years in prison as murder is treated very lightly there.

Not only that, but their prisons are like 5 star hotels with swimming pools, saunas, panel HDTVs in every cell, personal massage services. Oh, and fantastic fresh produce!

Australian prisons are JUST WAY better than American ones. No comparison at all, really.

Guys you're new here but this games has been played before with A.J and Pike. All it does is ends up congesting the board.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

He truly seems like one.

Thanks for the tip. I need to protect my sheep even more now since we are #13 and all.

Before you know it this country my SO has been waiting months to get into will be a 3rd world country.

Oh what to do? Do you know the requirements to become an Australian citizen?

Australia has a points based system. These are the critical skills list to get priority.

I don't think that Australia will allow anyone of Hispanic or Black descent to immigrate there since most of them are criminals.
