The murderer turned crime writer famously served five years in prison for bludgeoning her friend's mother to death as a teenager.
By Steven McIntoshCrime author Anne Perry, who, as a teenager helped murder her friend's mother, has died aged 84.
The author was the inspiration for Peter Jackson's 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, which starred Kate Winslet. The girls wanted Parker to join Perry as she went to live with relatives in South Africa, and thought Parker's mother would try to stand in the way of their plan. She said on her website that she had been fostered as a child due to illness and missed a lot of school as a result.
