WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. –- A woman who said she strangled her 18-year-old daughter because she “pushed my last button” pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree manslaughter.

Stacy Pagli, 38, had been charged with murder in the Feb. 22 killing of her daughter Marissa at Manhattanville College in Purchase.

Her husband, who discovered the body, wept during the court session.

Marissa Pagli, a Manhattanville freshman, was found dead in the family’s on-campus apartment. Her father, John Pagli, was a maintenance supervisor at the college.

He found his daughter’s body — and his wife lying nearby. The Westchester district attorney’s office said that after the killing, Stacy Pagli tried to commit suicide by cutting her left wrist and hanging herself on a doorknob.
