S11E09 | The Murder of Catherine Kelly (Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, 2017)

In this episode, I tell the story of Catherine Kelly, a 71-year-old woman killed in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, on February 11, 2017.

Catherine had spent that Saturday evening attending a 21st birthday party with her 41-year-old son William Kelly and his partner Eleanor Banks. Within minutes of the three arriving back home, a fire broke out, which resulted in Catherine's death.

It was soon revealed that Kelly had deliberately set the fire with the intention of killing his mum after first beating her up.

A jury at Glasgow High Court found Kelly guilty of murder in November 2017. Judge Lady Stacey handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 23 years.
