Son kept father's body in bed for five months so he could claim his benefits while telling 10-year-old daughter he was just asleep

A man left his father's dead body in bed for nearly five months so he could claim his benefit payments - even telling his innocent 10-year-old daughter that her grandfather was just asleep.

Christopher Blackburn was jailed for three years after police found the body of his father Guy, 54, on a bed in the living room of his home in Penwortham, Lancashire.

The macabre discovery was made last March, after neighbours raised concerns.
