14-year minimum term for bed mix-up murderer

An IT worker who beat a 71-year-old woman to death after she mistook his home for a B&B and got into his bed was jailed for at least 14 years.
David Redfern, 46, attacked tourist Margaret Barnes while she was visiting Barmouth, Gwynedd, in July 2022.
Mrs Barnes, from Birmingham, had been out drinking with friends and had been planning to stay at a B&B on the same street as her killer's home.
She mistakenly went into Redfern's house, which was unlocked, and went straight to his bedroom and fell asleep.
Redfern denied murder but was convicted by a jury following a trial at Caernarfon Crown Court and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years.
Passing sentence, Mr Justice Bourne told him: "I can understand why you might have escorted her out of your house, though a different person might have responded to this situation by trying to help her.
"But the assault, a kick or stamp of sufficient force to cause a fatal injury, was a dreadful thing to do, to a defenceless elderly person."
