RUABON MAN KYLE ELLIS ADMITS MANSLAUGHTER OF GRANDMOTHER
A man has been sent to a psychiatric hospital indefinitely after admitting manslaughter of his grandmother, whose body was found after a house fire.
Kyle Ellis denied murder on 11 February last year, and the prosecution accepted diminished responsibility.
Mold Crown Court was told that Ellis, of New Hall Road, Ruabon, Wrexham, had paranoid schizophrenia, and had been "profoundly mentally unwell." He strangled and stabbed 69-year-old Susan Hannaby before starting the fire.
The court heard Ellis had lived with Mrs Hannaby and his grandfather, who had died in 2020, for about 10 years.
