Christopher Phillips kept his 89‑year‑old mother's body in a chest freezer for almost three years while fraudulently claiming more than $104,000 (£78,000) of her benefits and has now been jailed for two years and four months.
The 60‑year‑old, from Porthcawl, south Wales, admitted preventing the lawful and decent burial of Sylvia Phillips and carrying out benefit fraud linked to her pension and welfare payments.
