A teenage boy admitted accidentally killing his younger sister with a single shot from a handgun that his mother had brought into the house illegally.
Kasha Peniston, then 16, was playing with the gun as he and Kamilah, 12, were watching television with their eight-year-old twin sisters in the living room of their home in Gorton, South Manchester.
He did not intend to fire the .38 revolver, or intend any harm towards his sister, Manchester Crown Court was told, but the bullet hit her in the forehead, giving her little chance of survival.
After the incident, in April, neighbours described how Peniston, covered in blood and sobbing, carried his sister on to the pavement outside the house shouting: Call an ambulance Ive shot my sister.
Later Peniston, who has a robbery conviction, said: It was a terrible accident I love her and I love the rest of my family. I feel devastated. Words cannot say or show exactly how I feel.
Inquiries revealed that he had been questioned by police before the tragedy after the discovery of a gun under the floorboards of his semidetached home.
Peniston, now 17, admitted manslaughter when he appeared in court yesterday. He was wearing a black T-shirt bearing pictures of his sister and the legend RIP Kamilah 1994-2007.
He had been charged with murder but Paul Reid, QC, told the court that the guilty plea to the lesser charge was acceptable to the Crown as an appropriate plea on the basis of gross negligence. Peniston will be sentenced by Mr Justice Holland on October 31 along with his mother, Natasha Peniston, 33, who pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to possessing the firearm that killed her daughter.
