Dying mother tells son 'I love you' as he repeatedly stabs her before trying to kill himself to end their 'nightmare life'
A dying mother reportedly told her son "I love you" as he was stabbing her to death in her kitchen. The 41-year-old son, Jason Nellist, repeatedly stabbed his 59-year-old mother Julie Clark as she pleaded with him: "What are you doing?"
Earlier, the same day, Nellist killed his pet cat Gizmo with a rope and then told a friend of his that he wanted to end his family's "nightmare life". After he stabbed Clark to death, Nellist walked out in front of a van in what was a failed attempt at killing himself. Authorities found his mother's body slumped on the kitchen floor in her house in Hereford on January 9 this year at around 10 pm.
Mirror Online reported that Nellist was found guilty of murder at the Birmingham Crown Court on November 28 after he was deemed unfit to plead because of his mental illness. It was reported that he suffered from paranoid psychosis.
