Summary
Angelynn "Angie" Mock, 48, was sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, in Wichita on Oct. 31, 2025; she can seek parole after 25 years.
The sentence followed Mock’s August guilty plea to first-degree murder after prosecutors said she stabbed Avers several times inside the home they shared with Mock’s stepfather.
Court records said Mock made statements indicating she believed her mother was the devil and killed her to "save herself," while family members said she suffered from delusions, depression and possible schizoaffective disorder.
A judge had found Mock competent to stand trial in July despite those mental-illness claims, clearing the way for the plea deal and sentencing.
