A Bondi Junction woman charged over the cold case murder of her mother in 2001 has been committed for trial in the NSW Supreme Court after her lawyer indicated she will enter a plea of not guilty.
Isabela Carolina Camelo-Gomez, 46, from Bondi Junction, was charged last year over the murder of her mother almost 20 years ago.
Her mother, Irene Jones, was allegedly strangled and stabbed in her Lansvale home in southwest Sydney in November 2001, aged 56.
No-one was charged by police in the years following her death.
In 2017, detectives from the Unsolved Homicide Unit launched a reinvestigation of the case which led to Camelo-Gomez being charged with murder.
Camelo-Gomez, who was 27 at the time of her mother’s death, appeared back in the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday.
Her matter was committed for trial in the NSW Supreme Court after her lawyer indicated she will be pleading not guilty at a later date.
Her matter will be mentioned in the NSW Supreme Court in December.
Camelo-Gomez remains on bail.
