Carl Rundle, 41, of The Park in Harwell, has been found guilty of the murder of his mother Helen Rundle, 64, at their home. A jury at Oxford Crown Court returned a unanimous guilty verdict after a three-week trial, which heard evidence relating to Ms Rundle's death and testimony from witnesses connected to her and the defendant.

Addressing Rundle in court, Judge Ian Pringle KC said: 'You have been found guilty unanimously of the murder of your mother.' The judge stated that the sentence will be life imprisonment but said he needed time to consider the minimum period Rundle would serve in custody.

Rundle was remanded to custody and a sentencing hearing was scheduled for 23 October. Judge Pringle told the jury that the case was 'one of the most difficult cases I have ever tried'.
