A man violently murdered his own mother before leaving the scene to buy beer while her battered body lay on her bed. Lewis Bush, 27, subjected Kelly Pitt to repeated attacks and bullying for years before he killed her at her home in Newport, Wales, on May 10.During the vicious final assault, Kelly, 44, was left with horrendous injuries, including lacerations to her face, with her bedding and mattress soaked in her blood, Wales Online reports.After murdering his mum, Bush lied to his sister, Jordan, for two days about Kelly's condition.

He fled the scene when Jordan's partner, Kieran Saunders, went to the flat and found her "black and blue" with "blood everywhere".Bush attended a police station and was arrested, at which point he said: "Murder?

Murder? You must be joking" and "What? My mum is dead, serious?".He later pled guilty to the murder. At Newport Crown Court today, family members approached the dock and branded Bush a "murdering scumbag c""t".

He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years.At the time of Kelly's death, Bush was subject to bail conditions banning him from contacting her or going to her home.
