A man who admitted to killing a Marlow Bottom pensioner in her woodland home before setting her body alight is set to be handed his fate this week.

Tautrydas Narbutas is expected to be sentenced tomorrow (April 27) – months after he admitted to killing Albertina Choules in her woodland home in Ragmans Lane.

Narbutas, who is from Lithuania but lived in High Wycombe, was convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after denying murdering the 81-year-old, and was originally due to be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on October 8.

But the sentencing was repeatedly postponed as the court waited for psychiatric reports to come through.
