Woman jailed for life after admitting murder of teenager in 2004
Karen Tunmore, 36, from Killingworth, North Tyneside, could no longer live with the guilt and confessed in July to killing Scott Pritchard, 19, in Sunderland, smashing him over the head with a baseball bat in a row over money.
Mr Pritchard's father Robert Stacey, known as Fred, was charged with murdering his own son and spent 16 weeks on remand before the case against him was dropped in 2005.
