A killer has admitted taking the life of a pensioner by "forcefully" pushing him.
Gary Anderson assaulted Roy Clayton at an address in Prudhoe, Northumberland, in December last year. Police said at the time that the 79-year-old suffered a suspected serious neck injury and was taken to hospital and died four days later.
Now Anderson, 49, of Woodhead Road, in Prudhoe, has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, at Newcastle Crown Court. He admitted the charge on the basis of using a "forceful two-handed push".
