An autistic man has been jailed for five years for killing his 15-year-old sister at a holiday park.
Matthew Selby attacked his sister Amanda after an argument in a caravan at the Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Towyn, near Abergele, North Wales, on Saturday July 31 last year.
Passing sentence, the judge said: “The family has been shattered by what happened that day in July last year.” Jamie Baxter, prosecuting, said Selby lunged at his sister after she hit him with a plug, causing a “trivial” injury to his bottom lip. Mr Baxter said Mr Selby pleaded with his son to get off Amanda but he did not get up until she had stopped breathing.
He said Selby, who appeared via video-link from HMP Berwyn, has autism spectrum disorder with intermittent explosive disorder, which causes aggressive outbursts, as well as a depressive disorder.
