A son has admitted killing his elderly mother in the Cotswolds.

Matthew Corry, 46, appeared before a judge at Bristol Crown Court today to plead guilty to the manslaughter of Beatrice Corry, 84.

He had previously denied his mother’s murder.

Mrs Corry, 84, died on January 6, after an incident in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire.

Officers were called to a property on the High Street where Mrs Corry was found with head injuries.

Corry, of The High Street, Chipping Campden, appeared via videolink from custody and spoke only to confirm his name and enter his plea on Monday (July 3).

Anna Vigars KC, prosecuting, said the plea was acceptable to the Crown.

Judge Peter Blair KC, The Recorder of Bristol, said two psychiatrists had already prepared reports on Corry and the court would be considering imposing hospital orders with restrictions when he is sentenced.

Corry was remanded into custody to be sentenced on July 10.

The judge told him: “Matthew Corry you will need to cooperate with arrangements for you to be transported to Bristol Crown Court next Monday.

“In terms of your remand status you will continue to be remanded into custody, albeit you have been transferred to hospital where you currently are.”
