Overview
- The confrontation began over a noise dispute at their west Hull home on September 26 when Kadie Johnson blocked her 41-year-old mother and turned the argument physical.
- Prosecutors told Hull Crown Court that Johnson dragged her mother to the floor, put a hand around the back of her head and squeezed her neck, restricting her breathing while the victim remained conscious.
- The mother fled upstairs, curled into a ball to protect herself, then locked herself in a bathroom and made an eight-minute 999 call that was played in court and described as harrowing.
- Johnson also damaged items in the home, including a television and a mobile phone, and was arrested; she initially denied strangling her mother at the police station but later pleaded guilty and expressed remorse in mitigation.
- She received 26 sessions of the probation service’s Building Choices programme plus 20 days' rehabilitation, a non-custodial sentence that will include probation monitoring and aims to address behaviour in a young, first-time offender.
