A man has admitted killing his 76-year-old father at his home in Nottinghamshire.

Police were called to Malcolm McGarry's home in Northfields Close, Sutton-in-Ashfield, on 1 December 2023.

Peter McGarry, 53, of Alexandra Street, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, was charged with his murder and entered a guilty plea on Thursday.

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 is yet to be fixed.
