Matthew Selby Admit Killing of His Sister

Selby, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, had been due to stand trial for her murder this month.

He pleaded guilty to manslaughter during a short hearing at Mold Crown Court this morning, where he appeared via video from HMP Berwyn.

Prosecutors said they accepted the lesser plea based on an analysis of Selby’s psychiatric reports.

Defense lawyer Gordon Cole QC said Selby would be seen again by a psychiatrist before his sentencing – due on 18 March.

An inquest in August heard that Amanda’s provisional cause of death was asphyxia from neck compression, external airways obstruction, and crush asphyxia.
