Man freed after killing mother

Malcolm Key, 50, suffocated his 79-year-old mother Joan with a pillow at the home they shared in Oxton, Wirral, Merseyside, last August. He then tried to kill himself but failed and was arrested the following day.

He immediately confessed to the killing and told police he feared the DSS was planning to stop his benefits or send him to jail.
