Nathan Robinson, 27, was told he faces a life sentence after
putting William Spiller’s body parts in storage boxes and using them as a stand
for his TV.Robinson shared a flat with his 48-year-old father, Winchester crown court
was told.Judge Mr Justice Griffith Williams said: “There is only one
sentence I can pass on you and that is one of life imprisonment.
"I won’t pass that sentence now as I want to consider
the minimum sentence you will serve.” After the murder, Robinson steam-cleaned
the flat in Bournemouth, Dorset, but a neighour below became suspicious when pink droplets began
appearing on walls.The following day, the University of Aberystwyth mathematics
graduate set off for a weekend away to visit friends in Glasgow with a box-set
of Saw horror films in his black holdall, a court heard.Before leaving the flat he shared with his 48-year-old
father, Robinson, of Kingswinford, West Midlands, set about cleaning up his
crime.In the following month, he then covered his tracks by using
his father’s mobile phone, sending text messages posing as the 6ft 4in,
25-stone Mr Spiller.
Robinson denied murdering his father on May 16 last year but
admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.During the trial, he claimed his father sexually abused him
in a hotel as a 13-year-old boy.He alleged he forgot all about the abuse but the memories
flooded back to him in early 2013, a court heard.However Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Robinson
murdered his father Mr Spiller over ‘money disputes’ and owed him £36,000.Robinson was arrested
weeks after the murder on June 18 last year - telling police ‘Is this
a joke?’ - a day after Mr Spiller’s girlfriend Glenys Molyneux reported her
taxi driver partner missing to police.Mr Spiller was identified by dental records as the body was
so decomposed.A date for his sentencing is yet to be set.Via.mirror uk
