A MAN has been found guilty of murdering his mother having stamped on her head.
Stephen Ball, 32, attacked Suzanne Galvin, 55, at their home in Bury last year.

Ball pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of the partial defence of diminished responsibility. He denied murder. Jurors heard that shortly before 8pm on September 16, 2023, a disturbance was reported neighbours at a flat on Pear Avenue.
Ball was heard shouting 'thieving b***** and 'Mum, let me in! Calls were made to the emergency services. Ball called his grandmother, Mary Galvin, who lives in Ireland.
