A Sydney man says his grandmother psychologically abused him before he snapped and stabbed her 40 times as a DVD of Hawaii family holiday memories played in the background.
Ethan Harwood pleaded guilty in April to the murder of Pauline Farrugia, 67, when he was aged 19 at her Penrith home in December 2017.
However, the now 21-year-old told a sentencing hearing in the NSW Supreme Court he didn't believe he was a violent person.
He said those around him constantly lied about why his mother had left him. But his grandmother had always said her obligation to raise him 'ruined her life'.
'She would just say really horrible, nasty things,' Harwood told the court on Friday.
'She would say 'I'm not blaming you, but the only reason why (your grandfather and I) separated was because I couldn't go out with (him) to the clubs ... you ruined my life. I can't go live in Malta because of you.'
Harwood said he'd left his grandmother's house at 17 but returned two years later, wanting to know the truth after his mother told him Ms Farrugia had manipulated her into leaving him.
'I rang the doorbell and she let me in ... hugged me and kissed me on the cheek,' he said.
Later, after reminiscing about a past Hawaii holiday, he said the pair argued about why he had left a family barbecue some days prior.
'She said 'I don't give a f***'. She started yelling at me for leaving - how could I do this to her, I'm so ungrateful, I'll never amount to anything, stuff like that,' Harwood said.
'She was saying that mum turned me against her and she wouldn't let me go back with that woman.'
Harwood said the words had made him feel trapped and he stabbed his grandmother 40 times using two knives.
