It defies belief and certainly any semblance of common sense resulting in a mum's death that simply does not have a label.

A young Warkworth mother, was shot through the head by her partner, as he posed macho style for photos with a sawn off shotgun.

Today 21-year-old Justin Goldstone was locked away for the manslaughter of Samantha Henderson.

His claims that he did not know the shotgun was loaded were rejected by the judge.

Reporter Michael Holland met with Samantha's family as they struggle to make sense of it all, and a little girl who does not yet know why mummy isn't around any more.
