When did emperor Nero kill his mom?

Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger, was said to have wanted to control her son and be the effective ruler of Rome through him. However, Nero was keen to assert his independence from her and the relationship between the two was tense. It was said that in 58 Nero fell in love with Poppaea Sabina and wanted to divorce his wife, Octavia. Given that his mother would oppose this, he arranged for her murder in 59. Many historians disagree with this ancient interpretation. Poppaea did not divorce her husband until after Agrippina's death, and Nero did not marry her until 67. It has been theorised that the real reason were accusations that Agrippina was plotting to overthrow Nero and replace him with Rubellius Plautus. In 55, Junia Silana, sister of Caligula's first wife Junia Claudilla, a rival of Empress Agrippina the Younger and the ex-wife of Messalina's lover Gaius Silius, accused Agrippina of plotting to overthrow Nero to place Plautus on the throne. Nero took no action at the time, but over time, Nero's relationship with Silana warmed while his relationship with his mother soured. After a comet appeared in 60, public gossip renewed rumors of Nero's fall and Plautus' rise. Nero exiled Plautus in 60 to his estate in Asia with his family. ome modern historians theorize that Nero's execution of Agrippina was prompted by her plotting to set Rubellius Plautus on the throne.[47] According to Suetonius, Nero tried to kill his mother through a planned shipwreck, which took the life of her friend, Acerronia Polla, but when Agrippina survived, he had her executed and framed it as a suicide.[48] The incident is also recorded by Tacitus
