Imagine loving someone so much, that you would kill your own mother just to be with them. This was exactly the case for Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, two teenage girls who lived in New Zealand in the 1950s. When Honora Parker threatened to keep the two girls apart, they beat her to death with a brick. These two girls shared a rich fantasy life, but was their decision to kill Pauline's mother the result of a shared psychotic disorder, or was it a just a deadly lapse in judgement and adolescent emotional dysregulation? Decide for yourself as Coral and Dusty discuss the case of Parker and Hulme.
