Her mother's body was discovered the following day by a relative at the home she shared with Emma in Walton, Liverpool, after the victim's employer who runs a cafe raised the alarm.
When traced by police, Emma recollected little of what had happened only recalling her 'disappointment' at learning her mother no longer wanted to live with her.
Psychiatric examinations concluded she was suffering from a 'severe depressive episode' with psychotic symptoms at the time she killed her mother.
Details of the tragedy emerged at Liverpool Crown Court as Emma was jailed for ten months after a judge ruled she was a 'caring and loving person' whose attack was 'largely outside her control.'
She admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after her not guilty plea to murder was accepted by the prosecution.
