A former Eton College master inflicted "horrific and "appalling" fatal injuries on his 84-year-old mother when she tried to get him medical help, a court heard.
Matthew Corry, 46, suffered from a manic episode and attacked Beatrice Corry at her home in West Country market town while she was on a 999-call. In the presence of call-handlers, he threatened to slash her throat before kicking, stamping and launching knee drops on her, Bristol Crown Court was told.
He has now been sentenced to a hospital and his family have spoken out about the incident. The court was told, that emergency services rushed to the scene at Beatrice's home in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds shortly after midnight on 6 January this year, but her injuries were so severe she couldn't be saved.
