A former Eton College master has admitting killing his 84-year-old mother. Matthew Corry, 46, appeared in court via videolink to plead guilty to manslaughter in relation to the death of Beatrice Corry.
He had previously denied murder, but entered his amended plea on what would have been the first day of his trial. Police were called to High Street in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds at around 12.30am on January 6 this year after Beatrice was found with head injuries.
She later died from her wounds. No further details of the incident were heard during a short hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Monday. Prosecutors said the change of plea was acceptable to them and Corry will now be sentenced on Monday, July 10.
