Ananova:

A 24-year-old man has pleaded guilty to stabbing a vicar to death.

Father Paul Bennett, who was profoundly deaf, was killed by Geraint Evans outside his vicarage at St Fagan's Church, Trecynon, Aberdare, south Wales.

Officers were called to the scene at 2.50pm on March 14 and found Father Paul dead.

Police said at the time that his wife Georgina was with him when he was attacked.

Father Paul lived at the vicarage with his wife, children Emma and Nigel and grandson John.

His family were at Cardiff Crown Court to hear Evans, of Maes Rhydwen, Trecynon, plead not guilty to a charge of murder but admit manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

The prosecution accepted the plea.
