An OAP was viciously strangled to death in her bed and sexually assaulted by her evil son-in-law after she refused to provide him with cigarettes. Simon Parks, who has been jailed for life, was drunk at the time of the attack and told a neighbour the great grandmother was "a horrible b*****d" and had wound him up.
Parks brutally murdered Mari O'Flynn inside her Newport home on May 24 at around 1.55pm, Wales Online reports. Emergency services were called out to the property at Leach Road in Bettws where they discovered the 79-year-old's body, partially unclothed, with bruised injuries over her face and neck.
The 52-year-old confessed to the murder of Mrs O'Flynn and told police he had became jealous of his mother-in-law after she moved in with him and his partner, Claire O'Flynn. The defendant punched the OAP in the face multiple times before strangling her to death.
