Overview
- Prosecutors allege Waite grabbed 87-year-old Peter Skilton by the jacket and pushed him along a gravel drive at Ivy House in Snitterby as tenants moved in.
- Witnesses Anthony and Pamela Tootell phoned 999, and Mrs Tootell was recorded saying, "He's pushed him right over, he's gone backwards."
- Pathologist Dr Michael Biggs said the death followed brain injuries consistent with striking the back of the head, with no recent injuries indicating a prolonged struggle.
- Skilton was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary, placed in an induced coma, and died two days later on 19 December.
- Waite, 54, denies murder and an alternative manslaughter charge, while the prosecution cites recovered messages reflecting animosity during a six-year probate dispute after a recent High Court ruling.
