Margaret Sims, 70, Suffered From Alzheimer's, - And From A Frustrated Daughter * Eyebrow Mugshot*

[Abroad]

A woman who strangled her own mother with such force that a bone was broken in the older woman's throat has been given a life sentence for murder.

Keeley Barnard, 52, killed Alzheimer's sufferer Margaret Sims while sharing a sofa-bed at a family gathering in Stanford-le-Hope in August 2017.

The court heard Mrs Sims, 70, was killed in "rage and frustration".

Barnard, of Hopkins Mead, Chelmsford, denied murder but was found guilty and jailed for a minimum of 18 years.

When police arrived Barnard told them her mother had put a pillow on her face and stopped breathing.

She later told police she had been woken by her mother's gasping and that she, Mrs Barnard, had put her fingers down her mother's throat and around to neck to stop her from choking.

Bruising was found on Mrs Sims neck but Barnard claimed any injuries she caused must have been through her attempts at CPR.

Hmmmm CPR doesn't involve putting one's hands around the neck choking and strangling the victim.

Good thing they are not trying to hide behind her brain, she obviously doesn’t have one

Tho her face may be trying to convey that she is sad that she killed her mother, her eyebrows are saying SURPRISE!

So CPR now means
Choke Person Repeatedly.

Her eye brows look like they are fleeing her face.
Not that I blame 'em.
