A teacher who threw his terminally ill 79-year-old mother to her death from a first-floor balcony spared jail as judge describes it as a “mercy killing” Telegraph reports.
A “devoted, loving son” who killed his dying mother to end her suffering by dropping her from a first floor fire escape at a care home has been given a suspended jail term.
Robert Knight, 53, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his 79-year-old mother June at an earlier hearing at Basildon Crown Court.
The languages teacher had denied murder and was cleared by a jury.
Judge Samantha Leigh, sentencing Knight at Basildon Crown Court on Friday, told him: “You are someone who acted out of love and desperation.
“You have been punished enough and you have to live with what you have done.”
She went on to describe it as a “mercy killing”.
Knight was sentenced to 24 months in prison suspended for 24 months.
The incident happened at Langley Lodge Care Home in Westcliff, Essex, where Mrs Knight was receiving end-of-life care.
A crime is still a crime and these people are nuts to forgive such an act, also this shows how atheist, inhumane and soulless Europe has become and then you wonder why Europe is under a heavy Islamic invasion.
Well this is why! They don’t even care about their own mothers let alone about invaders.
No man with fear of God would do such a thing to a stranger, let alone his own mother. As atheism continues to rise and faith in God diminishes, expect to see more and more of these crimes taking place.
