Perth: Lesbian killers jailed for life

Fri 7 Mar 2008 In: International News View at Wayback

A young lesbian couple in Perth who brutally killed a teenage girl and dumped her body in a wheelie bin have each been handed a strict security life sentence, with a minimum of 24 years in jail. The pair bludgeoned 16-year-old Stacey Mitchell with a concrete block, strangled her with a chain and then videoed her blood-splattered bedroom and semi-naked body. Jessica Ellen Stasinowsky, 21, and her girlfriend Valerie Paige Parashumti, 19, were sentenced in the West Australian Supreme Court today after pleading guilty to Stacey's willful murder at a Perth house in December 2006. Justice Peter Blaxell said: "You have each had more than a year in custody to reflect upon the evilness of your crime, yet you still lack remorse and obviously place no value on the sanctity of human life. "There is also the added problem that you each enjoy being sexually aroused by the infliction of violence." The girls attacked Stacey at their home after giving her alcohol containing a sleeping pill. Parashumti repeatedly bashed Stacey on the head with a concrete block as the teenager tried to flee. Because Stacey was taking a long time to die, Stasinowksy then wrapped a belt chain around her neck. After she died, the pair kissed each other over the body. The story continues on the link below.
