Regina v Phillip Raymond Parkes [2006] NSWSC 331

WARNING: Disturbing content

In 2005, Grace Parkes was 84 years old and required full-time care. Of her three children, it was decided that her son Phillip would quit his job to care for her.

Only Phillip didn't want to become a full-time carer.

On the day before he was expected to resign from his job, Grace was murdered in her home.

Phillip very quickly became the prime suspect and confessed to killing his mother.
