What was your name? What's your name? On the 28th of July 2022, emergency services were called to a home in Tumbyambi on the New South Wales Central Coast. The caller was 59year-old David Andrew Map. Inside the home, officers located the body of 82-year-old Colleen Wilson, MAP's elderly mother, lying in a pool of blood and partially covered by a blanket. She had been dead for several hours. In the recorded trip call, M admitted to having a big argument with his mother, stating that things got pretty bad and she had fallen down. He told the operator he had attempted CPR, but received no response. Just hours after the murder, Map was caught on CCTV entering a pawn shop in nearby Long Jetty. There, he sold a 55-in Highense TV and a whippers snipper he had taken from his mother's home. The store clerk took his ID and paperwork before handing over four $50 notes. Map used the $200 to purchase heroin, later found used in a syringe inside the console of his mother's car. Police bodywn footage captured the moments after officers arrived at the scene. Map is seen speaking with the officers attempting to explain what had happened. Just letting you know that I'm recording this conversation. Your actions do you understand that? Okay.

Um, and I just before she could turn around and pick the knife back up off the table, um, I I guess there's no other word but to um, I guess throw it at her, I guess. And where did you hit your mom when you threw it at her? in the back back the head in the back of the head. She was facing towards the rooms. Your mom said things got bad. Does she normally chase you around the house with a knife? Yes. The court later heard that the pot plant weighed approximately 15 kg and it struck Miss Wilson in the head, causing a 40 mm laceration and fatal bleeding on the brain. She also sustained a fractured collarbone during the fall. The New South Wales Supreme Court heard that Map had a long-standing drug addiction and was staying with his mother at the time due to having contracted CO 19. In the weeks leading up to the murder, Map had stolen her TV on a previous occasion, forcing her to go into a pawn shop and buy it back. She had refused to involve police. During sentencing, Justice Ian Harrison described how Matt killed his mother in a moment when his frustration could no longer be controlled. He noted that the pair had argued frequently, but this time the confrontation turned deadly. In October 2023, a jury found Matt guilty of murder. On sentencing day, Miss Wilson's sister, Janice Fowler, gave a victim impact statement describing the years of harassment, begging, pleading, promises, and lies that Colleen had endured from her son. David Andrew Map was sentenced to a maximum of 21 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole in July 2037 after serving a non-parole period of 15 years.
