An autistic man has been jailed for five years for killing his 15-year-old sister at a holiday park. Matthew Selby attacked his sister Amanda after an argument in a caravan at the Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Towyn, near Abergele, north Wales, on Saturday, July 31 last year.
At Mold Crown Court on Friday the 20-year-old, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility at an earlier hearing, was give an extended sentence of 10 years - made up of a five-year custodial term and five years on extended licence.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said the extended licence is considered necessary to protect members of the public from the risks posed by Selby. Passing sentence, the judge said: "The family has been shattered by what happened that day in July last year."
