MUENSTER, Germany, Nov 11 (AFP) - A German court sentenced a teenager to almost six years in prison Monday for stabbing his grandmother to death for annoying him with repeated questions.

The state court in this western city found the 15-year-old, who was not identified, guilty of stabbing his 69-year-old grandmother 21 times and sentenced him to five years and nine months in jail.

The defendant had admitted the crime, saying she had pushed him to violence with her "incessant questions".
