B.C. woman guilty of killing great- grandson’s mom after parenting argument
KELOWNA, B.C. — A Penticton, B.C., woman has been convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her great-grandson’s mother.
A B.C. Supreme Court jury in Kelowna returned with a guilty verdict for 67-year-old Grace Robotti on Thursday night after deliberating for 12 hours.
Robotti was charged in the death of 26-year-old Roxanne Louie, a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band.
The trial heard Robotti admit to killing Louie by hitting her in the head repeatedly with a crowbar, but she said it was self-defence and pleaded not guilty to murder.
