 In January 2006, Barbara Coombes was gardening at her father's home in Greater Manchester, England, when she went inside the house and a saw a box of photographs on the dining table.

 

While going through the photos, the 51-year-old found explicit and indecent photos of children, including those of herself.

 

Coombes suffered 40 years of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of her father, before she "snapped," according to court proceedings in Manchester on Wednesday.

 

After discovering the photos, Coombes grabbed a shovel she had been gardening with and confronted her 87-year-old father, Kenneth Coombes, in the living room of the house, police said.

She struck him in the back of the head with the shovel, and when he turned to face her, hit him a second time, according to police. She then used the sharp end of the tool to slit her father's throat and "watched him bleed to death," the judge said during Wednesday's court hearing.

 

Coombes wrapped her father's body in a rug, dragged it to the garden, and hid his body behind a tree, according to police. The next day, Coombes ordered a metric ton of soil, which she used to bury her father in the garden, only meters away from her bedroom window.

 

Kenneth Coombes's body lay there for 12 years, a secret that his daughter did not reveal to anyone, including her family members.

 

To explain her father's sudden disappearance to her family, Coombes said that Kenneth died in the hospital, which had arranged for his cremation, police said.

 

Coombes told her own daughter, then 18, that Kenneth had died suddenly from blood poisoning and had been cremated, the Guardian reported. She told other family members that he had died from a heart attack. Neighbors assumed he had moved away or had died. No one reported him missing.

 

She cleared out his belongings from his house in which she continued to live in for 12 years.

 

She also concealed his death from authorities while continuing to fraudulently claim more than £180,000 — roughly $238,221 today — in his benefits, police said.

 

In January this year, a welfare officer insisted on seeing Kenneth Coombes for a scheduled meeting.

 

On Jan. 7 — a day before the meeting — Coombes walked into a police station and admitted to killing her father 12 years ago.

Greed did her in. 87 was a full life for a monster like hi..

I don’t get why they find it damning that she had no remorse for the killing. **** that guy for what he did, he abused her for 40 years and destroyed her life. He hasn’t earned remorse.

If she can prove his guilt, the government should give her a reward for performing a public service.  Monster hunters are heroes in my book, and this lady beat her own personal monster to death with a shovel like a badass.  May all child molestors and child pornographers meet a similar end, albeit sooner.  

 

She’s got to face the music for the theft though.  Murder is a gamble, but stealing from the government for that long a time is just plain crazy.

I see the killing cancels out the theft. Let the lady be, maybe get her a shrink.

I think she's only serving the 9 years because of the fraud. If she confessed to this right after it happened, I think they would've either sent her to a psychiatric facility or back home.
