A former Eton College master killed his "incredible" 84-year-old mum as she rang 99 for help, a court heard. Despite threatening to harm her before, he was able to live with her after being diagnosed with a mental health condition, and undergoing stints of treatment.
Matthew Corry was today handed a hospital order after admitting the manslaughter of 84-year-old "force of nature" Beatrice Corry. The mum and son had been sharing a flat in a converted grammar school at Cotswolds beauty spot Chipping Campden when she was found dead in the street on January 6.
Police were called to ancient Gloucestershire market town at 12.30pm where Ms Corry, a retired teacher and charity volunteer, was found with fatal head injuries.
