Timothy Crook found guilty of killing his parents

A Swindon man has been found not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of his elderly parents eight years ago.

50-year-old Timothy Crook had denied killing Bob and Elsie Crook, whose bodies were found under wheelie bins at a house he owned in Lincoln.

Crook was found guilty of manslaughter through diminished responsibility.

He will be sentenced next week.

The bodies of Bob and Elsie Crook were found under wheelie bins at a house owned by their son Timothy in Lincoln, Bristol Crown Court has heard.

The court heard they had been first killed at their home in Swindon.

Crook denied killing his parents in an earlier court hearing, saying that he drove his parents to Lincoln while they were alive, and that they were killed by someone else afterwards.
