KIESHA Weippeart's mother was a doomed parent, with a court yesterday told that her turbulent childhood paved the way for an "intergenerational" tragedy. Kristi Anne Abrahams - who yesterday cried as her lawyer outlined her childhood abuse and said "it's easy to hate her" - will now wait three weeks to learn her sentence for murdering her six-year-old daughter. The court was played a video in which a sobbing and hysterical Abrahams can be heard telling an undercover police officer: "I tried to wake her up and she wouldn't." The video shows Abrahams telling the undercover officer she was scared of being punished if the killing of Kiesha was to be discovered. Kiesha was murdered on July 18, 2010, but Abrahams - who waited two weeks before calling police to report her missing - denied any involvement until her arrest in April, 2011. Her barrister Janet Manuell SC said Abrahams had an intellectual disability, an IQ below 70 and was a "product of what happened to her." "It's confronting to accept the death of a child at the hands of a mother but Kristi Abrahams is very much a product of what happened to her," Ms Manuell said. Even Crown prosecutor Christopher Maxwell QC said Abrahams' early life of violence - including seeing her mother die when Abrahams was just 10 - "amplifies the tragedy of this case." "It amounts to the inevitability that (Kiesha), who suffered so much, had her life end as it did," Mr Maxwell said. He said the Crown considered the crime to be "above the mid-range" of seriousness, and noted the standard non-parole period for defended cases like this was 25 years. The court heard Abrahams, like the daughter she grew up to kill, suffered from instability in the home. Justice Ian Harrison will sentence Kristi Abrahams on July 18.
