A MAN convicted for the murder of his mother has today been sentenced to life in prison.

Josef Cupori, aged 24, of Elm Street, Cobridge, was found guilty of murdering Anna Cuporiova, following a trial at Stafford Crown Court in August.

  1. Josef Cupori

    LIFE SENTENCE: Josef Cupori.

He had always admitted killing her but claimed he was mentally ill at the time and denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

But a jury found the Czech national guilty following a two-week trial, in which it was revealed he had battered his mother over the head with a metal fireguard before slitting her throat and dumping her body in a wheelie bin.

    “Life should mean life, not 20 years, or better still let him do his time in Czechoslovakia.”

    “One for the Muppet wing, don't think battering your own mother to death with a heavy object goes down to well with the population of most prisons.”
