AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A teenager is due to be sentenced this week for the killing of his mother.

Law enforcement officials say Lukas Mironovas and another teenager strangled his mother to the point of unconsciousness before Mironovas stabbed her in the neck. Court documents indicate that before her death Kimberly Mironovas confronted the teens about missing marijuana.

Another teen described by a judge as “the prime mover” in the plot already was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

The third teen involved was 13 at the time and pleaded guilty to conspiracy. He has been committed to Long Creek Youth Development Center until age 21.
