An Edmonton judge declared a mistrial in a murder case Friday. Kirsten Lamb is charged with murder in the 2010 death of her mother.
After emotional deliberations, the jury could not reach a verdict. They have been discharged and a new jury will have to start over.
Lamb will remain in custody at Alberta Hospital until she is re-arraigned.
Lamb – who is now believed to be 32 years old – was charged with second-degree murder after her mother was found dead in her quiet Capilano home in November 2010.
Edmonton police were called to the home for a welfare check and found the body of 49-year-old Sandra Lamb.
Kirsten was arrested Dec. 26, 2010.
In Sept. 2014, a jury found her unfit to stand trial. She was pregnant at the time and refusing anti-psychotic medication. However, in Feb. 2016, a different jury found her fit to stand trial.
