A 53-year-old man from Kirkby has admitted killing his 76-year-old father at his home in Sutton.
Last December 1, police were called to Malcolm McGarry’s residence in Northfields Close, Sutton.
Peter McGarry, 53, of Alexandra Street in Kirkby, was charged with his murder and pleaded guilty on Thursday, April 4.
After the brief hearing at Nottingham Crown Court, Judge Stuart Rafferty KC told him he would face a life sentence.
He said: “You have pleaded guilty to the most serious offence that you can, namely murder.
“There is only one sentence for that offence, and it is life imprisonment.”
A date for the sentencing will be set in due course.
