Ms Jobson ....................................................................................................................................... The killer, a crack cocaine addict who worked as a delivery driver and casual gardener, was paid in advance by the victim for the gardening work. But she had not finished the work and later went to see the widow and attacked her, the court heard. She also took some items of jewellery, which she sold for £61. The victim had lived in the house for more than 40 years. In a victim impact statement from Ms Jobson's nephew Mark Montgomery said: "We can't express the anger we feel towards the person responsible for Pat's horrific murder. "My entire family are bewildered as to how this ever occurred, especially to Aunty Pat who was loved and respected by so many. "She was in good health for her age and in no way deserved to have her life cut short in such a cruel and despicable manner." Prosecutor Brian Altman QC told the court: "The manner of the killing of this elderly woman in the sanctity of her home defies belief because of its nature and savagery." Culled from BBC
