Danish Teen Jailed Over Mother's ISIS-Inspired Stabbing Death

Lisa Borch, a 16-year-old Danish teen, has been sentenced to prison for nine years for stabbing her mother to death after watching ISIS beheading videos, local media in Denmark reported.

Borch, then 15, killed her mother Tina Römer Holtegaard with the help of her 29-year-old Iraqi boyfriend, Bakhtiar Mohammed Abdullah, in October 2014, according to Danish website The Local.

The court was told that the couple had agreed to kill Holtegaard together the same night they were watching ISIS beheading videos. According to Broch's step-father, the teenager was infatuated with the terrorist group. 

Abdullah was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the killing.
