Coombes hit her father, Kenneth, with a shovel and then slit his throat. She later buried his body in the garden.
Coombes, who was sentenced to nine years in prison on Wednesday, testified that her father was a "violent bully" who physically and verbally attacked her while keeping her daughter as a sex slave.
During the trial, Coombes said her father raped her hundreds of times
When she saw the pornographic photos, Coombes said they triggered her memories of a lifetime of abuse and struck him in the lounge of the home. She later bought a ton of soil to bury him in the yard, but told family her father had died in the hospital.
Coombes continued to live in her father's house for over decade, collecting welfare benefits up to $238,000 in American dollars.
When a welfare officer demanded to see her officer, Coombes confessed to the crime and plead guilty to manslaughter and fraud.
