A man who murdered his elderly father at his home in Somerset has been jailed for life.



Christopher Monro, 30, also known as Kit, pleaded guilty to killing 73-year-old Peter Monro, who died in Bath in February.



Monro’s sister, Lara, said during the sentencing hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday that it has been ‘almost impossible’ to grieve her father during the court proceedings.



‘I don’t think I have been able to yet, because I don’t think my brain has allowed me to fully comprehend what has happened,’ she said.



‘In darker moments, I am haunted by my father’s cries. But then there are also times when I am comforted by his laughter. I try my hardest to focus on these moments as a way of staying connected to him.’

Addressing her brother, she added, ‘I loved our Papa with all my heart, and you (Kit) took him away from me. Yet while I will never be able to understand why or how you were able to do what you have done, you will always be my brother, and I will always love and care for you.’

Police previously said that Mr Monro died from knife wounds. Police were called to the property just after noon on February 11 by one of Mr Monro’s carers.



He was found fatally stabbed in a bedroom and was declared dead shortly after.



Detectives discovered Monro had been staying with his father the weekend before, with several people reporting having heard an argument two days previously.



They traced Monro’s movements, and he was later arrested at his home address in Oxford.



Detective Chief Inspector Neil Meade said: ‘While today may mark the conclusion of the court proceedings, it does not end the pain and loss felt by all those who knew and loved Peter Monro.



‘The past 10 months have been incredibly difficult for the entire family and they have shown remarkable resilience in such adversity. We are grateful for their support while we have investigated this tragic case.’
