'Gemma Gaye Killeen, 23, was sentenced in the West Australian Supreme Court on Friday to life in prison with a minimum of 13 years to be served before she is eligible for parole.
She had pleaded guilty to murdering her 22-month-old son, Tereringa Wetere, known as Kayden, who was found floating in Hillarys Boat Harbour on November 26, 2010.
