Shaun Emmerson was going through a psychotic episode when he stabbed his mother, Christine, to death.
A man inflicted the injuries which led to the death of his mother at their family home, a jury has found.
Emmerson, who has paranoid schizophrenia and was experiencing a psychotic episode when he killed his mother, was ruled unfit to enter a plea or take part in the trial. The court heard that Emmerson climbed on to the roof of the conservatory to call 999, after stabbing his mother, to report that he had carried out a “violent attack”.
The jury were told Emmerson’s behaviour in the weeks before he killed his mother was a cause for concern for his parents, who were worried he was becoming increasingly withdrawn, spending most of his time in his bedroom or watching the news channel. A 23.5cm-long pink kitchen knife, which was shown to the court in a clear plastic case, was recovered from a bedroom in the house covered in such a large volume of Mrs Emmerson’s blood that the weapon could not be DNA tested for who had held it, jurors were told.
Addressing the jury, Judge Hirst said: “What you have heard has been deeply distressing. You have heard about a much-loved grandmother, mother and wife losing her life.
