A 46-year-old Sydney woman has been ordered to stand trial for the murder of her mother 19 years ago.
Isabela Carolina Camelo-Gomez, formerly known as Megan Jones, is charged with strangling and stabbing her mother, Irene Jones, on the morning of November 2, 2001.
Wearing a black patterned dress andhigh heels, Camelo-Gomez appeared briefly in the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday before NSW Chief Magistrate Graham Henson.
Henson committed her for trial and set an arraignment date in December, when the accused's counsel indicated she would enter a plea of not guilty.
Police allege Camelo-Gomez killed Irene Jones at her home in Lansvale, in southwestern Sydney, when she was 27 years old and her mother 56.
They arrested Camelo-Gomez, a mother of three, as she was taking out rubbish bins outside her Bondi Junction apartment on the morning of September 24 last year.
After one night in custody, she successfully applied for bail and will remain on bail, with conditions, until her trial.
Camelo-Gomez will be arraigned on December 11, possibly to stand trial next year.
