Creepy surveillance footage, pictures of her victim’s bedroom and fridge as well as a list entitled ‘Decision: Kill vs Knockout’ have surfaced as a South Australian woman is sentenced to 12 years jail for the attempted murder of her ex-partner’s new girlfriend.
Amy Kasehagen, of Richmond, broke into 28-year-old Bronson Hayter’s Adelaide home and tried to kill her in April last year after months of surveillance and planning.
Footage obtained by 9 News shows her surveillance work in the lead up to the horrific murder attempt, as Kasehagen stakes out her victim’s house, noting to herself what time the woman leaves and what she is wearing.
As she walks up Ms Hayter’s driveway, the 32-year-old is heard muttering to herself ‘I still love him, which is stupid of me’.
In a later video, Kasehagen says to herself ‘Thursday night I’m assuming is when I want to do it’.
Other documents tended to the Supreme Court include pictures Kasehagen had obtained of her victim’s bedroom and fridge contents.
She also had details about Ms Hayter’s workplace, and photographs of her car and house, Adelaide Now reported.
A list found in her possession showed a plan to kill the woman. The first line read ‘Kill Bronson – bitch deserves it’ and had the words ‘hammer’, ‘cuff’ and ‘suffocate’ on it.
Another photo was taken of a list found at her home, which had details of how she would either kill or knock out Ms Hayter, according to 9News.
If she were to knock the woman out, Kasehagen intended to ‘shatter her hands’ and put caustic soda in her eyes.
However, when the woman went through with her final plan in April 2015, she opted for murder.
Kasehagen broke into Ms Hayter’s home and hid until her victim came home.
She then hit her in the head, inflicting up to 10 blows with the hammer before blocking her nose using her fingers and trying to choke her with a plastic bag.
In the Supreme Court on Monday, Justice David Lovell said the attack was brutal, premeditated and terrifying for the victim who was forced to fight for her life.
‘Whilst on the floor, you pushed her in the back and then struck at her with a hammer approximately 10 times,’ Justice Lovell said.
He said Kasehagen had gathered together a large amount of ‘chilling’ material about her victim, including the USB device which had recordings of Ms Hayter, made while she was under surveillance.
The judge said the victim was extremely lucky to have escaped with her life.
‘She feels she was hunted down like a rabbit in a spotlight,’ Justice Lovell said.
Kasehagen pleaded guilty to attempted murder and aggravated serious criminal trespass and had been diagnosed with a personality disorder and as a ‘resentful stalker’.
Her psychological issues meant she had little remorse, the court heard.
Justice Lovell jailed the 32-year-old for 12 years with a non-parole period of seven years. She will be eligible for release in 2022.
