A woman has pleaded guilty to attempting to murder her mother with a poisoned cup of tea.
The woman appeared in the Auckland High Court on Wednesday morning, accused of lacing a cup of tea with insecticide in an attempted matricide.
She was also charged with arson after setting fire to her mother's property on the same day in June.
The woman pleaded guilty to both charges.
Her mother and other family members were present in court and backed her application for restorative justice.
She has applied for permanent name suppression and will be sentenced in February.
