A leading law professor has rubbished claims that a man who murdered his mother can remain as executor of her will.
Ross Taggart, 38, who strangled his mum Carol-Anne to death, remains solely in charge of her £500,000 estate eight years after she died.
While he can’t profit from the death as a result of his murder conviction, he retains control over all decisions relating to the legacy – blocking the rest of the victim’s family.
