Teenager jailed for life following murder of mum in nature reserve after begging
Tristan Robe, an eighteen year old from North Wales has been sentenced to life imprisonment by Manchester Crown Court. The teenager bludgeoned his mother with a hammer inside the Cheadle Valley Nature Reserve despite her desperate pleas and repeated requests for him not to kill anyone or make any calls including 910 (which is likely meant as "call police" in this context). Robe had planned the attack over three weeks, posted misogynistic messages online on Discord about his chilling intent before he struck.
