The woman accused of beating her mother to death in her Capilano home pleaded guilty to manslaughter Thursday.
Kirsten Lamb, 33, was charged with second-degree murder after her mother was found dead in November 2010.
Edmonton police were called to the home for a welfare check and found the body of 49-year-old Sandra Lamb.
Her daughter 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.
In Feb. 2016, a different jury found her fit to stand trial but could not reach a verdict and a mistrial was declared.
On Jan. 19, Lamb pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
She has been returned to custody at Alberta Hospital.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 17.
