A MOTHER who hired a hitman to kill the man who molested her child has been jailed for at least three years.

The mother of three, who can't be named, was found guilty by a Supreme Court jury of incitement to murder her stepfather, who had abused her 12-year-old daughter. 

"Your natural parental instinct to protect your young daughter seems to have developed into a desire to take revenge," Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth said yesterday.

After learning of the abuse in September 2007, the mother asked her former partner if he could help find a hitman. 

The former partner instead contacted police and the mother was introduced to "Dale", an undercover policeman posing as a gun for hire.

Justice Hollingworth said the stepfather, who was convicted over the sexual abuse, was never really threatened.

She set a maximum term of six years and ordered that the mother serve at least three.
