"Jason Trundle, 52, was jailed after West Mercia Police released video footage from his trial, showing him telling paramedics that Leon Pratt, 64, had 'been dead for about 12 days'."
"Trundle was expected to provide day-to-day care for Mr Pratt at his residence in Downemead, Hollinswood, after they met on social media."
"Trundle was also handed a 30-month sentence for preventing a lawful burial and nine months for fraud, both to run concurrently with his sentence for murder."
"Detective Inspector Joanne Delahay stated that Trundle's act of violence and the weeks of deceit that followed are deplorable, denying Leon and his family the opportunity to lay him to rest respectfully."
Jason Trundle was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Leon Pratt, a disabled man. Trundle, who had no fixed address, moved in with Pratt to provide care. After Pratt's body was discovered, it was revealed he had suffered significant injuries. Trundle initially admitted to manslaughter but was found guilty of murder. He received additional sentences for preventing a lawful burial and fraud. The case highlights the betrayal of trust and the impact of violence on vulnerable individuals.
