A jury has found 39-year-old Nigel Canavan guilty of murdering his 58-year-old mother, Angela Canavan. He attempted to justify his actions by claiming self-defense, arguing that she attacked him. Canavan explained that she had stab wounds on her thighs, which he alleged were self-inflicted. However, the jury rejected his claims, pointing to the nature of the violence and the evidence presented during the trial. Expert testimonies regarding Angela's medical condition and Canavan's pattern of behavior influenced the jury's decision to convict him of murder.
The jury concluded that Nigel Canavan's actions were intentional, finding him guilty of murdering his mother, despite his claims of self-defense and provocation.
Canavan argued that his mother inflicted stab wounds on herself and that he had no choice but to defend himself from her alleged attack.
In their judgment, jurors acknowledged Canavan's defense but ultimately rejected it, determining that the evidence did not support his account of events.
The court highlighted the severity and nature of the violence inflicted on Angela Canavan, which contradicted Mr. Canavan's narrative of self-defense.
