BREAKING: Christopher Phillips has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison for keeping his mother’s body in a freezer for nearly three years while receiving more than £78,000 of her benefits

He only got 2yrs ? The UK is fucked

This is as crazy as it can get. All for the love of money.

@nigeriasbest Two years for stealing £78k and denying his mother a proper burial for three years feels shockingly light given what actually happened.

So out in a year or so for 'good behaviour' ? What kind of message does that woefully weak sentencing send ??

Was she getting cold weather payments 🫠

Bro💀👀 really treated his mum like a long-term frozen investment portfolio… 3 years of compound interest on her benefits. Absolute financial genius, just slightly illegal.

Damn, people are creepy and no one, I mean no one, found out she’s dead?

Saying his race and religion wouldve been nice 😔

To do that to your own mother. Hell awaits this evil scumbag.

What just 2 years for keeping his mother in the freezer and to claim her benefit, that’s evil. He will be out in year counting night and day. I told you we are soft on punishment in the UK.

This sentence is a joke, poor woman 😢

The cold hearted bastard…

He treated his own mother’s body like frozen goods so he could keep cashing her benefits. And the courts give him less time than some people get for far less. Completely soft-touch justice.

It should of been at least double the 3 years he kept his mother on ice. Sick bastard

78k in benefits over 3 years ?? How much was this woman bringing in ? Horrible situation I might add

Maybe a social worker, dhs, home nurse could have fixed this with a 1 yearly check in at their home. Be good for all pensioners being ' cared ' for by family members

How did he get away with this? You mean… his entire family didn’t question or say anything about his mother suddenly disappearing and being out of reach or contact for three years?! Nobody had any suspicions or went round to the house to see if she was ok? It doesn’t make sense.

Basically a slap on the wrist for being a psychopath who concealed a death, committed fraud, and abused a corpse! Didn't they think that if he can do this to his own mother without an ounce of guilt, he's capable of doing much worse to society?🤔

Obvs it's very sad he denied his own mother a decent burial - but I'm thinking £25k a year in benefits?? No wonder people don't want to go to work!

Get more for a distasteful tweet. That sentence is way to lineint

He wanted to see his mother every now and then.🤷 Its a son's love for his mother.

2 years!!!!!!! Out after 1! What the…

What a piece of scum

Just over two years for 80k. Not even considering the morality of it. Wow, that's not enough.

……..

I'm not going round his for Findus Crispy Pancakes when he gets out

People in the comments are dumb as fuk! It’s 2.4 years for fraud you morons! He didn’t kill her! He just froze her body, to collect her benefits. Yes it’s sick but it’s not murder she was already dead! So he can’t be charged with murder.

UK nags on about human rights across the world then allows psychopaths out of prison in just 2 years.

If he was brown Tommy Robinson would be calling for a riot outside the houses of Parliament

Sad, pretty gross & entirely inexcusable of course, but imagine if our news media began connecting some of the fkn dots & actually started asking questions about the startling & exploding economic gap between the obscenely wealthy haves & the rest of us struggling as fk have nots

Benefits you know ahhhh

Just two years ?? For chashing in on his dead mother ???? What a absolute b***d !!! 😡😡

Two years that’s all he got , this justice System is a joke
