Andre Rebelo, 58, has been convicted of killing his mother for a $1 million insurance payout after a lengthy trial.

Details emerged that the father had been struggling financially and had portrayed a 'perfect' life online.
Andre Rebelo , 58, was found guilty of murdering his mother for a million-dollar life insurance payout after a nearly two-month trial. The Perth father, desperate to maintain his luxurious lifestyle, had secretly insured his mother's life for over $1 million just days before her death. Initially, her death was deemed unsuspicious, but the insurance company raised the alarm when Rebelo tried to make a claim.
During the trial, a fake voicemail was played to the court, suggesting that his mother was not suicidal and the insurance claim was meant to help his family through financial struggles
