A MURDERER from Coventry has been jailed for life for killing his grandmother.
Sam Croston, 37, of no fixed address, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 30 years following his conviction earlier in February for the murder of Pamela Croston.
Sam Croston inflicted fatal injuries on Pamela Croston, with whom he was living at an address in Everdon Road, in September 2023.
Officers were called after Pamela’s emergency pendant was activated.
When they arrived they found Sam Croston sat on the ground near his grandmother, who was seriously injured.
He was arrested and she was taken to hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
A police spokesperson said: “In interview, Croston said he had no memory of the attack, suggesting she had fallen.
“Despite this, it was clear the injuries Pamela had suffered were as a result of a deliberate assault.
“Our thoughts are with Pamela’s family at this time.”
