'Debt-ridden son shot dead his mother and father in £230,000 inheritance scam after they survived car crash he faked months earlier'

I couldn't emphasize the 'fucking asshole' and 'stupidity' bit more...

A man blasted his mother and father to death with a sawn-off shotgun to inherit a £230,000 will after they survived a car accident he staged months earlier, a court has heard. Stephen Seddon murdered Robert Seddon, 68, and Patricia, 65, in their suburban home because they survived after he drove a car into a Manchester canal with them strapped in the back seats in an earlier bid to kill them, it is alleged. The 46-year-old father-of-three had debts and an insatiable need for cash, Manchester Crown Court was told.
