He could be heard screaming 'mum, let me in' - what he did next was unfathomable

A son who brutally killed his own mother shamelessly called his grandmother claiming to have found her injured in her flat. Stephen Ball, 32, killed his 55-year-old mum Suzanne Galvin in the 'most terrible of circumstances', police said.

He carried out a 'drug-induced violent and sustained assault' on her at the house they shared in Bury in September 2023. A court heard how police were initially called to the scene that evening after neighbours reported hearing a 'disturbance'.

Ball had been heard shouting 'thieving b****' and 'mum, let me in'. READ NEXT: She was supposed to stop for a pack of biscuits, but killed a man instead Shortly after this, he called his grandmother Mary who lives in Ireland.

He told her had come back to the flat to find his mother 'struggling to breathe'. He shamelessly claimed he had found her injured, despite launching a horrific attack himself on his mum.
