Stephen Seddon Guilty Of Parents' Murder

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 27 Maret 2013 | 23.15

A man who tried to kill his parents by driving them into a canal has been found guilty of shooting them dead four months later.

Stephen Seddon, who had an "insatiable thirst for cash", carried out the cold-blooded "execution" to get his hands on his inheritance.

The 46-year-old convicted fraudster had once before tried to murder his father, Robert Seddon, 68, and mother, Patricia, 65, in a staged car accident.

Strapped in the back seats of a hires car, Seddon drove the pair into a canal on March 20, last year, in a faked road accident.

He then "played the hero" in the aftermath of the "accident" when he was forced to abort his plot to kill them after bystanders went to their aid in the submerged BMW.

On July 4 - four months later - he shot the couple dead with a sawn-off shotgun at their home in Clough Avenue, Sale, Greater Manchester.

His elderly and caring parents had made him sole beneficiary of their £230,000 estate in their will - if they both died - and paid with their lives.

They had already gifted the father-of-three £40,000 in cash and bought him his home in Benevente Street, Seaham, in Co Durham.

After a five week trial, a jury at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday found him guilty of two counts of attempted murder and two counts of murder.

There were cried of "Yes!" from the victims' family in the public gallery who burst into tears and hugged each other when the verdicts were announced.

During the trial, Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, described Seddon as the ultimate "ungrateful son".

Seddon, who now faces life in prison for the killings, will be sentenced on Thursday.
