Paroled man charged over strangle death
BOWRAL: A man on parole after serving a jail term for malicious assault was charged in Bowral Local Court yesterday with the murder of a 43-year old woman.
Mr Gregory Ronald Keaton, 32, of Moss Vale, is charged with murdering Ms Patricia Ann Murray at Moss Vale on Saturday.
Detective Sergeant Alan Becke told the court that Mr Keaton went to a hotel last Friday and, after midnight, followed the woman to her home.
An argument developed between the two because he believed Ms Murray was going to report him and his de-facto wife to the Housing Commission and Department of Social Security.
Sergeant Becke said that during the argument Mr Keaton strangled Ms Murray.
It was understood Ms Murray had said that Mr Keaton, though employed, was receiving unemployment benefits and that his de-facto wife was receiving a single-parent benefit.
Mr Keaton was remanded in custody to appear in Moss Vale Local Court on Monday.
The court had been told that Mr Keaton was on parole, having been convicted in 1982 of malicious assault inflicting actual bodily harm to have sexual intercourse.
His de-facto wife and two of her five children were in court.
