- Sarah Kerianna Newitt, 30, admitted calling her brother’s former partner
- She said she made the call after her brother damaged their mother’s windows
- However, the mother-of-three insisted to the court that she didn’t mean it
The mother of an 11-year-old who was shot in the head after an argument has admitted threatening to squeeze out a child’s eyeballs and feed them to dogs.
Sarah Kerianna Newitt, 30, pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to menace another person at Launceston Magistrates Court on Tuesday, the Hobart Mercury reports.
Newitt’s daughter was shot during an incident in Deloraine, Tasmania, after an unrelated fight in August.

She didn’t appear in court to face charges in October because her daughter was still in hospital.
On Tuesday, the court heard from police prosecutor Natalie Clark, who said Newitt had called Sheridan Watts – her brother’s former partner – and made threats towards her children on January 1.
According to the Mercury, Newitt admitted making the call after her brother damaged the windows of their mother’s home – but insisted that ‘in no way did I mean it.’

But Ms Clark said that although the threat was ‘bizarre,’ it was delivered in a menacing tone of voice.
The court heard that Newitt, an unemployed mother to three children – aged four, nine and 11 – has since reconciled with her brother.
Ms Watts has moved away and the pair haven’t spoken since, she added.
The magistrate sentenced Newitt to a two-year good behaviour bond.
