Homeless Teen Admits To Killing Midwife Who Offered Him Shelter
David Matthews inflicted multiple serious injuries on 58-year-old grandmother Susan Williams at her home in Mill Road, Caerphilly, South Wales, in the early hours of February 28 this year.
The 18-year-old, who also lived in the Caerphilly area, admitted murder during a brief hearing at Newport Crown Court, which was attended by a large gathering of Mrs Williams’ family.
The Recorder of Cardiff, Judge Nicholas Cooke QC, adjourned sentencing until Friday September 11. He said that if he could have dealt with the case now, he would have done, but it was not possible.
He said the sentence was fixed by law, but what the court has to determine is the minimum time for which he should be detained. In the meantime, Matthews was remanded in custody.
After the hearing, Detective Superintendent Geoff Ronayne, of Gwent Police, said it was still not clear what happened on the night of the murder due to Matthews’ reluctance to talk about it.
He said the teenager had been living rough for a few nights after an argument with his girlfriend. He had been introduced to Mrs Jones, who the detective said had a “tremendous standing in the community.”
“We know Matthews was taken to the address and she was likely to have put him up for the night and he repaid her by trying to steal property from the house and she disturbed him,” said Mr Ronayne.
