Miami teen sentenced to 28 years after killing mom, partying for week while body in house
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Miami teen who pleaded guilty to killing his mother and throwing a party while her body was still inside the home will spend 28 years in prison.
The Miami Herald (http://tinyurl.com/qa7ccjr) reports Kit Darrant pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the 2012 slaying of Renette Emile, 35.
Prosecutors say the then 16-year-old student got into an argument with his mother, strangled her and stabbed her more than 100 times with a butcher knife. Police say Darrant covered her body up with sheets and sprinkled laundry detergent over it to cover the smell as he skipped school and partied.
