MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - A German man who decapitated his mother with a Samurai sword after she told him to move out was convicted of murder Tuesday and sentenced to life in jail.

The man, identified only as Axel T., 22, called police after killing his mother last June, a spokesman for the Munich state court said. The man told authorities his father had committed the crime.

According to prosecutors the man attacked his mother with a 17-inch blade after his parents told him to move out. He chopped off her head in the kitchen of their flat while she was reading a newspaper, the prosecutor said. They added he first planned to kill his father.
