A woman has been jailed for the murder of her mother, Janet Mason, who was killed on 9 March 2021.

Janet, 69, from Powick, was stabbed by her daughter at an address in Worcester. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Today, a jury at Worcester Crown Court found Jessica Crane, 50, from Hillside Close, Worcester guilty of murder and she was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum sentence of 12-and-a-half years.

Senior Investigating Officer, David Knight, from West Mercia Police, said: “This is a sad case which understandably has been devastating for Janet’s family. I’m pleased that justice has been done and the family now have some closure.

“They ask that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.”
