mestered

French translation: ou possédé (par la folie par ex)

English term or phrase: mestered
I suspect this is australian english or slang or a neologism.

At first she worried he would be murdered or mestered and she was mad as a watchdog,
running down the stairs in the middle of the night, barefoot on the concrete path.

I cannot seem to find any corresponding word in french (or even in english).
