A former mayor in Australia has left her three daughters $1.50 each out of her $3.5 million estate because she believed they were involved in the death of her mother.

Valmai Roche, who died in 2009 aged 81, left "30 pieces of silver of the lowest denomination of currency" - or 30 five cent pieces - to each of her daughters saying it was "blood money due to Judas", the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
