A Melbourne grandmother who allegedly bludgeoned her daughter-in-law to death with 33 strikes of a hammer was heard by a witness asking her grandson: 'How would you like to change your mother?' the Daily Mail reported.
Huajiao Zhuang, 50, is accused of murdering Dan 'Selina' Lin, 21, because she wanted her to son re-marry a wealthier woman, a court has heard, according to the report.
Ms Zuhang is accused of beating her daughter-in-law 33 times with a hammer, before wrapping her body in a nylon bag, placing her body in a wheelie bin and then dumping the body in a creek, the report said.
Prosecutor Peter Kidd told the Victorian Supreme Court that Zhuang wanted her son Rong Ping Zhuang, known as Peter, to divorce Ms Lin and marry a woman from China so he could earn 'hundreds of thousands of dollars' from the woman's family as he had Australian residency.
He also alleged that Zhuang had an ongoing feud with Ms Lin over respect and about the care of her grandson, then aged two with witnesses testifying that Zhuang had previously slapped Ms Lin, attacked her in a car, and cut off some of her hair.
Mr Kidd also said a school friend of Ms Lin once heard Zhuang ask her young grandson: 'How would you like to change your mother?'
Ms Zhang's barrister said the she acted in self-defence, claiming that Ms Lin produced the hammer in a dispute over her child's bathwater.
