A Barnsley man has admitted the manslaughter due to diminished responsibility of his mother in May last year at Sheffield Crown Court<\/p>\n
Renars Geslers, 31, was made subject to a hospital order with conditions preventing his release after Agita Geslers, 61, was killed at her home on Brierfield Close on May 25 2021.<\/p>\n
South Yorkshire Police received a call at about 00.34am on the day from a neighbour reporting a disturbance at the address, and officers attended alongside Yorkshire Ambulance Service.<\/p>\n
A family member in the flat described hearing Ms Geslers screaming within her bedroom and saw her son carrying out a sustained attack on his mother as she was leaving the room.<\/p>\n
When they tried to help Ms Geslers, her son pushed them away and shut the door. He later fled the property.<\/p>\n
Det Insp Adam Watkinson, from South Yorkshire Police\u2019s Major Crime Unit, said: \u201cThis incident will have torn a family apart, and we hope that the conclusion of this case will help them begin to move forward from what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Geslers was pronounced dead at Barnsley Hospital soon after arrival despite receiving attention from first officers and ambulance crews at the scene.<\/p>\n
Mr Geslers was arrested at his home on Hoyle Mill Road, where officers found him washing items of clothing in his washing machine.<\/p>\n
He was originally charged with his mother’s murder but prosecutors accepted a plea of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.<\/p>\n
Det Insp Watkinson said: \u201cThis was a harrowing and violent incident which would have brought shock to the community around Brierfield Close.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
