Robinson shared a flat with his 48-year-old father, Winchester crown court was told.

 After the murder, Robinson steam-cleaned the flat in Bournemouth, Dorset, but a neighbour below became suspicious when pink droplets began appearing on walls.

The following day, the University of Aberystwyth mathematics graduate set off for a weekend away to visit friends in Glasgow with a box-set of Saw horror films in his black holdall, a court heard.

 Before leaving the flat he shared with his 48-year-old father, Robinson, of Kingswinford, West Midlands, set about cleaning up his crime.

In the following month, he then covered his tracks by using his father’s mobile phone, sending text messages posing as the 6ft 4in, 25-stone Mr Spiller.

Robinson denied murdering his father on May 16 last year but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

He alleged he forgot all about the abuse but the memories flooded back to him in early 2013, a court heard.

 However Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Robinson murdered his father Mr Spiller over ‘money disputes’ and owed him £36,000.
