A man who battered his “caring” mother to death as his brother slept in the next room has been convicted of manslaughter.
Donald Yeboah, 29, attacked Leticia Brobbey at their home in Wingate Square, Clapham.
The 52-year-old suffered multiple blunt force injuries to the head and neck, which caused a traumatic brain injury.
Police were called to reports of a disturbance in their flat in Lambeth on May 8, 2024.
Officers had to force their way into the property and found Mrs Brobbey seriously injured at the scene.
She was taken to hospital in a critical condition but sadly died of her injuries a week later.
Yeboah was arrested and himself taken to hospital for treatment before later being charged with murder.
At Croydon Crown Court on Wednesday, a jury found him guilty of manslaughter. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, from the Metropolitan Police’s Homicide and Serious Crime team, said: “This is a tragic incident and our thoughts remain with Leticia’s family and friends as they continue to process what has happened.
“Leticia was a caring mother who on that day had expressed concerns about her sons behaviour, that evening Donald brutally assaulted her, while his brother was sleeping in the room next door.
“Sadly, Leticia did not recover from the injuries she sustained in the attack and died a week later.”
