Philip Tarver Jailed for Decapitating His Mother

Philip Tarver, 47, attacked Angela Tarver and threatened his 83-year-old father Colin at the family home in Woking. The court heard Tarver had downed a bottle of vodka and six beers the night before the killing. When Colin awoke, he saw his son was wearing a female nightie or negligee. After preparing a breakfast of poached eggs, Colin heard screams from his wife. Ms Healy said: "He heard a short, sharp scream, and ran from where he was into the dining room. "He could see that the chair that Angela was sitting on was knocked over. He could see his wife's feet were resting on that knocked over chair and they were not moving. "He could tell she was laying on her back. Suddenly, the defendant appeared in front of him holding an ornamental sword that he had owned for sometime. "He was holding the sword out in front of him. He said something to the effect of 'I am going to kill you' or 'I have to kill you'. "He had a demented look in his eyes which he said were bulging." Instagram: @cfr_news
