Last October, Lisa Borch stabbed her mother, Tina Römer Holtegaard, up to 20 times after she and her radical Islamist boyfriend, Bakhtiar Mohammed Abdulla, spent the evening repeatedly watching ISIS beheading videos and other terror propaganda, court documents say.
Danish teenager Lisa Borch stabbed her mother to death after becoming obsessed with ISIS videos showing beheadings.
But when police arrived at the house, Borch was calmly sitting in the living room, using her iPhone, and watching videos on YouTube.
“This murder was cold-blooded, ice cold and committed in a bestial manner”, the prosecution told the court.
However she then met Iraqi 29-year-old Abdulla at a refugee centre near her home and fell in love, prosecutors said.
The disturbed duo had planned to flee to Syria together to fight for ISIS after killing Holtegaard who was against their relationship, according to the Mirror.
During the trial, Lisa tried to blame Abdulla for the murder.
Although she claimed to have been alone in the house, the police found fingerprints from her boyfriend in the mother’s bedroom and later a spot of Ms Holtegaard’s blood on his shirt.
As the court could not establish who had carried out the stabbing, both were found guilty.
Borch was sentenced to nine years in jail. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison, after which he will be deported from Denmark. When police asked the teenager where her mother was, she simply pointed upstairs, refusing to leave her handheld device.
During Borch’s trial it was learned Borch’s twin sister had just moved out, no longer able to deal with the constant arguing between Borch and their mother.
Both were also ordered to pay $60,000 in compensation to the surviving members of the victim’s family, including Borch’s stepfather and twin sister.
“Lisa is completely uncritically enthusiastic about everything related to the immigrant community”. “I dare not imagine what she can develop into during imprisonment”.
Reiterated Holtegaard: ‘There is no doubt that she was in very bad company when she began to hang out with him.

Adding: ‘I never in my wildest dreams imagined that she could think of doing such a thing. “She had a mother who loved her and did everything she could to help her”, he said.
