    A Dunedin teen who killed his mother with a dumbbell will be sentenced today


    The Otago Daily Times reports the defendant - who turned 18 just days before the crime - pleaded guilty to murder earlier this month.

    An autopsy found 15 separate lacerations and extensive facial fractures.

    The 18-year-old will appear in Dunedin's High Court.
