16yr old arrested for arranging mother’s murder

Although, unfortunately, it’s not unusual to hear of children killing their parents – This case is notable because the girl implicated, Rachelle Waterman, had a livejournal (popular online diary for you newbies). Her last entry reads Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered.

I won’t have computer acess until the weekend or so because the police took my computer to go through the hard drive. I thank everyone for their thoughts and e-mails, I hope to talk to you when I get my computer back. There are over 4000 comments to this post since it’s become public (mostly deleted or worthless) and a link to a newspaper article can be found here. It’s an odd one which I’ll be following with interest.
