59-year-old David Mapp killed his 82-year-old mother, Colleen Wilson, in a brutal act of violence on July 28, 2022, by throwing a pot plant at her head. After the murder, he delayed calling emergency services to steal her belongings, including a TV, which he pawned for drugs. Mapp’s contradictory statements during police questioning, claiming self-defense and attempts to revive her, led to his conviction for murder, and he is set to be sentenced by Justice Ian Harrison on Thursday.
