A man stabbed his own grandmother to death before setting fire to her home with her remains still inside.
Kyle David Edward Ellis, of New Hall Road in Ruabon, Wrexham County Borough, admitted the manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility of 69-year-old Susan Anne Hannaby during a hearing in April. Ms Hannaby's body was discovered in her kitchen after a house fire at her home in Ruabon on February 11, 2021.
A sentencing hearing at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday heard 26-year-old Ellis had been experiencing low mood in the lead up to the incident, and had made attempts to get help from doctors. He was described as being in an "emotional and unsettled" state in the hours prior to attacking her.
