A 65-year-old man has been detained in a secure hospital indefinitely after killing a Spalding mother in her own home.

Brian Simpson was sentenced by Judge Simon Hirst on Thursday, September 10, after a jury found that he carried out the killing of Kristine Sparane, who was 37.

Secure detention ordered

The court ordered Simpson to remain in secure hospital detention for an unlimited time. The stated purpose of the detention is to protect the public.

The source report identifies Ms Sparane as a Spalding mother and says she was found at her home. It does not provide further details about the circumstances of her death, the court hearing or Simpson’s medical treatment.
