Man who STABBED his own mother to death over “argument” convicted with manslaughter

A man who stabbed his own mother to death was convicted on Friday 13^th March 2020, in relation to her death in Enfield in Autumn last year.

Criston Preddie, aged 28, of Tennyson Close, Enfield, pleaded guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility at the Old Bailey and will be sentenced later this year on 5 June.

Police were called by Preddie himself at 19:23her on Saturday the 28^th, to reports of a woman seriously injured at an address on Tennyson Close in Enfield. Preddie told officers he had taken his mothers life but did not provide a reason for the killing.

Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and found Arlene Williams suffering from stab injuries. The 46-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

Preddie was arrested at the scene of the crime on suspicion of murder and subsequently charged with the same offence.

He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on 30 September with a pre-trial preparation hearing was held on 18 December.

Preddie had told officers that he’d had an argument earlier on the day of her death, lost his temper and then approached her on the settee with a kitchen knife.

DI Joanna Yorke, from the investigation team at the Specialist Crime Command, said: “This is a very sad case which has left the extended family devastated and they continue to be supported by specially trained officers”
