A 29-year-old woman in Nevada who piqued national interest last year when she claimed she was arrested for being “so good-looking,” will spend at least 15 years behind bars for killing her mother, stabbing the 61-year-old woman multiple times inside of their home last year.

Clark County District Court Judge Jacqueline M. Bluth on Tuesday ordered Hend Bustami to serve a sentence of 15 years to life in a state correctional facility for the slaying of Afaf Hussanen, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

In September, Bustami formally pleaded guilty but mentally ill to one count of second-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon. While the court found Bustami competent to stand trial for murder, a psychologist determined that she had been experiencing “intermittent exacerbations of psychosis,” and concluded that she was “in need of continuing psychiatric treatment.”

During Tuesday’s sentencing hearing, Bluth reviewed Bustami’s documented history of mental illness, which includes multiple diagnoses for psychoses and other disorders, Las Vegas NBC affiliate KSNV reported. The judge further confirmed that she would get credit for time already served and would continue to receive mental health treatment during her incarceration. The earliest she will be eligible for parole is 2037.
