Man admits killing his dad at home

Police were called to Malcolm McGarry's home in Northfields Close, Sutton, on December 1 of last year. Peter McGarry, 53, of Alexandra Street, Kirkby, was charged with his murder and entered a guilty plea on Thursday, April 4.

After the brief hearing at Nottingham Crown Court, Judge Stuart Rafferty KC told him he would face a life sentence.

He said: "You have pleaded guilty to the most serious offence that you can, namely murder. There is only one sentence for that offence, and it is life imprisonment.”

A date for the sentencing will be set in due course.
