Son jailed for life after killing wealthy father

A “callous” son who murdered his wealthy father before draining his bank accounts during a lavish spending spree was jailed for life yesterday.

Debt-ridden television executive Benjamin Holding, 29, killed 70-year-old Michael Holding by repeatedly bashing his head against the floor at their home near Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The executive was told he would spend at least 15 years behind bars for the crime.
