A man has admitted killing his mother by stabbing her 33 times in the family home in Aberdeen.
Jordan Milne, 26, attacked 59-year-old Carol Milne in Clifton Road in July 2019.
Her body was found by her husband Norman, who was suffering from a terminal brain tumour and later died.
Milne, who was initially charged with murder, admitted culpable homicide at the High Court in Glasgow due to diminished responsibility.
The court heard that in the weeks beforehand Mrs Milne feared for her safety because of her son s aggressive behaviour and constant demands for money.
She called police on 22 June 2019 as she was also worried he might damage her car or the house after she refused him cash.
Police called twice in weeks leading up to tragedy
The court heard that in the weeks leading up to her death, 59-year-old Mrs Milne had called the police amid concerns her son would damage her car or house after she refused him cash.
On that occasion, on June 22, 2019, Milne told officers his mother was overreacting because he had drunk the last of the milk.
Two days, later on June 24 2019, she phoned the police again.
Advocate depute Angela Gray QC said: “She told the operator her son had mental health problems and that he needed to go to a psychiatric hospital, but nobody was listening to her.”
