A 'troubled' young man knifed his step-grandmother to death in a sexually-motivated killing after an internet surfing session for 'granny p*rn'.
Jack Huxley, 20, armed himself with kitchen knives and a carving fork to stab vulnerable pensioner Janis Dundas as she slept.
The 62-year-old had given her wayward stepson a bed for the night after he turned up on her doorstep, apparently homeless.
But after a late-night session on her computer searching the web for adult activity between young men and mature women, Huxley subjected his elderly relative to the attack.
Ms Dundas' body was found without clothes on her bed with evidence that her stepson had engaged in 'sexual activity' with her.
Liverpool Crown Court today heard loner Huxley had never had a girlfriend, had a history of self-harm and been bullied regularly during his childhood.
His barrister Charles Miskin QC said: "He was like a wild animal who doesn't care about anything."
A neighbour told police how she watched a young man drive away from the scene, on April 5, in Mrs Dundas Peugoet car, momentarily crashing into a wall.
When Huxley was later arrested, he protested to cops: "What you on about?" as he was found with his step-gran's mobile phone, bank card and a tin of money in his possession.
His barrister Charles Miskin QC told the court: "This was a sudden galvanic explosion of violence catalysed by some sexual component.
"He's likely to say he's sorry to her family and friends and his family and friends.
"He has imposed on himself a terrible lifelong burden of guilt and he now lives in an isolated state of misery."
Mr Miskin described how his client had a checkered history of 'bullying, drugs, dispraxia, depression, anger and self harm which had blighted his childhood and teenage years,
Huxley, he said, would punch and himself and throw water over his body.
He added: "He's not as the rest of us. He's not chemically wired as other people."
