A former soldier and his mother have been jailed for life after murdering their 84-year-old mother and grandmother.
Barry Rogers and Penelope John will serve at least 11 years each after force feeding Betty Guy a cocktail of pills and whisky at her home in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in November 2011.
Rogers, 33, then smothered the former nurse using a pillow, a court heard.
The pair, who were found guilty after a trial at Swansea Crown Court, nearly got away with the killing but came under suspicion in 2015 after one of Rogers’ ex-girlfriends reported him to the police.
It emerged that the former technician in the Royal Corps of Signals had told three former partners he had killed his nan by putting a pillow over her face.
Police arrested mother and son in November 2016 and placed a bug in John’s home which recorded them discussing the killing, including Rogers saying to John she had nothing to worry about because ‘it’s me that’s the one that’s done the act’.
