Subscriber only THE chilling final words of a Townsville woman killed in her own front yard by a man she employed to build her a new wardrobe have been heard in court. Pamela Frances Corless was struck on the back of her head with a one-and-a-half metre piece of timber after Mark Daniel Ferguson confronted her about money. On September 3, 2018, Ms Corless was found lying lifeless on her back by her son-in-law, three metres from her front door. In his opening statement, Crown Prosecutor Nigel Rees said Mr Ferguson admitted killing Ms Corless when he pleaded guilty to her manslaughter on Monday.
