“Tell Mom I love her.” These are the fifteen-year-old’s last words Amanda Selby after being killed by her older brother. Matthew Selby, who suffers from autism, was sentenced to five years in prison after killing the fifteen year old sister at a caravan park in Wales the summer of last year.
According to the reconstruction of the court, the now twenty-year-old would have thrown himself against his sister and then literally laid on top of her until he stopped breathing🇧🇷 brother and sister had hotly discussed🇧🇷 The father tried to get between the two boys and begged Matthew to let his sister stay, who was trapped between two beds inside a trailer.
“His son was very strong, he was very angry and his daughter had no space to move,” said the prosecutor. Amanda would then say as she lay under her brother: “tell mom i love her🇧🇷
Matthew Selbyof Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, was sentenced to an extended sentence of 10 years consisting of five years imprisonment and five years of extended leave, today Friday, December 16th, by the Court of Molde. He had pleaded guilty to manslaughter with limited liability at a prior hearing.
According to the reconstruction, the two brothers were on vacation with their father, Anthony, after returning to their trailer when they got into an argument. Prosecutor Jamie Baxter said the youngster he threw himself on his sister after she had hit with a corkcausing a “trivial” wound on his lower lip.
Amanda would have fallen on the floor between two beds in the “little room” and her brother he climbed on top of her. The father tried to climb over one of the beds to reach his children, but he couldn’t get between them. By the time help arrived, it was too late for the 15-year-old: the autopsy established that it would be died of suffocation🇧🇷 The brother was immediately arrested.
His defense attorney, Gordon Cole, said several attempts had been made to understand whether the court could issue a hospital restraining order for the defendant. “But in short, he can’t, and we accept the prison sentence.”
He said he spoke to the boys’ mother before the hearing: “it’s horrible in the sense that he has, for all intents and purposes, lost two sonsbut is very aware of the defendant’s problems and difficulties and is here to support him”
