    The Wellington woman found guilty of brutally murdering her elderly mother is appealing

    The Wellington woman found guilty of brutally murdering her elderly mother is appealing


    Julia DeLuney was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 18 years in the High Court at Wellington last month.

    She was found to have fatally bludgeoned her elderly mother Helen Gregory, in Gregory's Khandallah home.

    The 54-year-old will be represented by prominent Christchurch lawyer Kerry Cook, who's confirmed he's acting on an appeal against both conviction and sentence.

    DeLuney's initial trial lasted almost five weeks and involved dozens of witnesses.
