A British woman whose 'life ambition' was to kill before hitting 25 before she tortured and murdered an autistic teenager in Australia with her 'kill kit' of knives, scalpels and a bone saw wrote her own horror novel and worshipped its killer protagonist.
Jemma Lilley, 26, wrote: 'I feel I can't rest until the blood of a fresh, screaming, bleeding victim is gushing out and pooling on the floor'.
She would also pretend to be the main character named SOS - which she later adopted as an alias - and would even wear a lead mask like the sadistic killer she had created.
Lilley, originally from Stamford, Lincolnshire, murdered 18-year-old Aaron Pajich with the help of her bondage-loving housemate Trudi Lenon, 43, in June last year.
The pair stabbed the teenager to death in a secret room with various blades before they buried his body under a patio in the backyard of their home in a suburb in Perth, West Australia.
Her stepmother Nina, 48, who still lives in the UK, said: 'She had always had an obsession with serial killers. I always felt on edge with her. I always felt unnerved by her. I don't think she did have empathy'.

She also read Lilley's 'disturbing' horror novel 'Playzone', which is a window into the killer's twisted mind.
She said: 'The book was a big problem with me. At the beginning I was, 'fair enough you want to write a horror story' bit I didn't like the contents of it, it was all about torture and very violent and no empathy for the victims, which I found very disturbing'.
The killer would write the novel every day in her bedroom.
Nina said she left the family home because she could not bear living with Jemma, who she believed was a psychopath and possibly had bipolar depression.
She said she was receiving psychiatric treatment depression herself but the horrific book made her mental health worse.
'It seemed to escalate before she left for Australia she got so obsessed by it and even preparing to go to another country get sidelined,' said Nina.
'She wanted to get it published, that's what she wanted because it was her ambition to be a horror writer. She didn't see it as a problem, she didn't see it as a bad thing, she assumed people would want to read it and it's not nice to read.
'I always felt on edge with her, I always felt unnerved by her, she seemed to find it funny that they said, 'you need to see somebody', she always found that amusing but in the end I left the relationship - she was one of the biggest reasons'.
Nina was shocked to find out Lilley was in a relationship with a woman and added she had told her that she had a boyfriend. #
She added: 'She was immature for her age, she just had a few friends, she was very tomboyish.
'I regret I wasn't more forceful in getting her to get help. I should have said, "no if you're not going to get her to get help I will" but I had my own mental health to think of as well.
'She was clever, a bright girl, that's what's so frustrating because she was clever but she seemed not to have common sense.'
Aaron Pajich's body was found in a shallow grave and covered with concrete and tiles on June 13 last year.
Lilley, who moved to Australia six years ago, had a 'life's ambition' to kill someone by the time she was aged 25, a West Australian Supreme Court jury heard.
State prosecutor James McTaggart told the jury: 'At the time of the murder, she was a person obsessed with violence and all kinds of unquestionably cruel manifestations of torture and was writing about it'.
There was 'no doubt' Mr Pajich had been murdered with fatal knife wounds to his chest and neck, the jury heard.
There was also no doubt he was buried in the backyard of the pair's Perth home, a place where a security camera showed the two of them and Mr Pajich on June 13, the last time he was seen.
'Between them, they did all that was necessary to cause Aaron Pajich's death,' Mr McTaggart said.
Lilley was reportedly so 'full of herself and euphoric' after committing the murder, that she could not help boasting about killing someone to one of her colleagues.
She also left incriminating voice messages to her 'obsequious and sycophantic' fellow murderer Lenon, talking about how excited she was experiencing things 'she had not felt before'.
Evidence of Lilley and Lenon's guilt could be found in a series of phone messages, where they were discussing killing someone while referring to each other by their bizarre names SOS and Corvina.
They had also bought cleaning products and concrete to cover up the murder, Mr McTaggart said.
Lenon blames Lilley for the murder, but admits to being an accessory.
Lilley's father Richard Lilley, who flew from England to watch his daughter being convicted, said nothing as he left the court building.
Lilley denied knowing how Mr Pajich died and claimed to have been asleep when he was last seen with Lenon.
