(CNEWS) — CALGARY — Calgary mom Aset Magomadova doesn’t have to go to jail for strangling her promiscuous, 14-year-old daughter, a judge ruled Thursday.
Justice Sal LoVecchio said a non-custodial punishment would be sufficient for Magomadova’s killing of daughter Aminat.
LoVecchio sentenced the city woman to a three-year term of probation.
Crown prosecutor Mac Vomberg sought a 12-year prison term, while defence lawyer Alain Hepner argued a combination of house arrest and probation would be sufficient punishment.
Magomadova was convicted by LoVecchio of manslaughter last October, after the judge ruled she wasn’t acting in self-defence when she wrapped a scarf around the neck of daughter Aminat and strangled her.

(CTV News Calgary) — Lawyers for a Calgary woman who killed her 14-year-old daughter during a fight say she shouldn’t go to prison.
A judge is hearing sentencing arguments in the case of Aset Magomadova.
She was convicted of manslaughter for strangling her daughter Aminat in 2007 with a scarf.
During her trial, Magomadova testified that Aminat attacked her with a chair and threatened her with a knife.
The teen had a history of drug abuse.
Prosecutors say Magomadova should spend 12 years in prison.
Much of the focus of the hearing is on the trauma Magomadova suffered during the Chechen War.
A psychologist is on the stand Wednesday talking about Magomadova’s mental state.
The 39-year-old refugee’s husband was killed by a bomb in Chechnya.
She was badly wounded during the Chechen war.
When she came here in 2003, her children had a tough time adjusting to life in Canada.
Aminat got in trouble with the law and drugs.
But prosecutors point out that Magomadova showed no remorse or even regret for her daughter’s death.
They say she sees herself as the victim.
Doctor Patrick Baillie says Magomadova suffered from post traumatic stress disorder
