Sebastian Compton appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday 14 October when he pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his mother, Michele Romano, on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
In February, Essex police arrested Compton after calls from a member of the public concerned by the appearance of a man in Chelmsford.
Ambulance service colleagues and officers were deployed to Chelmerton Avenue shortly after 2.30pm on Friday 9 February.
When officers arrived, Sebastian Compton was sitting in the rear of an ambulance.
He stated he had just killed his mother and stabbed her multiple times.
Police and ambulance drove to his home address in Readers Court where they found Michele, who, despite the best efforts of paramedics, sadly, died at the scene.
Michele was from Bicknacre, Chelmsford.
Sebastian Compton, 47, denied her murder at a previous court appearance at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court (Monday 12 February).
Today (14 October) he pleaded guilty to her manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He will be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Thursday 21 November.
