A man who murdered his own father has been jailed for life.

Christopher Monro, 30, was told he would serve a minimum of 12 years in prison for killing 73-year-old Peter Monro at his home in Bath, Somerset.

Emergency services were called to the house in Kelston View around midday on 11 February, where Mr Monro was found dead.

Detectives tracing his son’s movements arrested Monro at his home in Osney Lane, Oxford, on 12 February, and he was later charged with murder.
