Man gets 19 years for beating girlfriend's mother to death with hammer

A 20-year-old man has been sent to prison for 19 years for beating his girlfriend's mother to death with a hammer. His girlfriend, who is 17, got a 10-year sentence for urging him to commit the deed during an argument between the couple and the girl's mother in Chomutov, north Bohemia last December. Court experts described the girl as normal and clever, but said the man, Petr Jiskra, was unfeeling and had no compunctions about killing, a regional edition of Mlada fronta Dnes reported.
