Son ‘killed mother in Christmas lunch row’
A man killed his mother after she criticised his efforts at making Christmas lunch, a court heard.
Mark Jennens, 40, tried to throw 78-year-old Hazel Jennens out of a house they shared in a Christmas Eve row over potatoes, jurors were told.
He is alleged to have frogmarched his mother, who had osteoporosis and lung cancer, to the door before pushing her to the ground in 2015.
Ms Jennens, of Dudley, West Midlands, broke her hip and later died from bronchopneumonia in hospital.
Mr Jennens denies manslaughter. The trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court continues.
