HOSPITAL ORDER | A man who admitted killing his mum at her home in Maghull has today, Friday 6 November, has been given a hospital order.
Graham Daly, 45, pleaded guilty to the offence of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility during a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court in July.
Phyllis Daly, 70, was found dead in her house on Clent Road in Maghull in July 2025, having suffered "significant injuries".
Graham Daly was later detained by police officers in the beer garden of a pub in Lancashire.
Today at Liverpool Crown Court he was given a hospital order.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Nuttall said: “Phyllis’s family and loved ones have been left devastated by their senseless loss, and the circumstances surrounding her death have made it even harder for them to come to terms with what has happened.
“They have shown immense courage and dignity throughout the criminal investigation and the complex legal proceedings that have followed.
“No sentence or court outcome can ever bring Phyllis back. However, I hope that today’s court sentencing provides the family with some measure of acknowledgment of the harm that they have been caused.
“While this cannot end their suffering, I hope it marks an important step for them.”
Following the sentencing Phyllis’s family have issued the following tribute:
“Phyllis was the most compassionate person anyone could wish to know. The love, support and encouragement she gave so naturally to others was unwavering. Phyllis’ world revolved around her family. She was a wonderful wife and mum, as well as being a loving sister, nana, auntie, cousin and friend to many.
“As a family, we were blessed to have had such a vibrant, fun, thoughtful and caring lady to guide us through life. She was our family’s beating heart. Phyllis had a genuine warmth about her and a smile that could light up any room. She knew how to live, making the most of every opportunity to enjoy life and create precious memories with us.
“Today marks the end of the criminal proceedings, but it does not bring an end to our grief and pain. Nothing ever will. We are grateful to Merseyside Police for their thorough investigation into Phyllis’ death. We extend our thanks to the investigation team led by Detective Chief Inspector Alan Nuttall, our wonderful family liaison officers who have helped us navigate the lowest points of our lives and the police officers who supported us at the time of the incident. They have all treated us with care and compassion and kept Phyllis at the heart of their work.
“Having Phyllis taken from us in such horrific circumstances propelled our family into a living nightmare. The loss we have suffered is immeasurable and we miss her more than words can say. Our thoughts remain, first and foremost, with Phyllis and the wonderful person she was. Phyllis will always be part of us. Her kindness, her warmth, her smile and her love will never be forgotten. We must now begin the difficult process of rebuilding our lives without her, treasuring our memories and knowing how fortunate we were to have been loved and nurtured by such an amazing lady.”
Last week Merseyside Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner, alongside The First Step, Knowsley’s Domestic Abuse support service, launched a campaign highlighting son to mother abuse, a form of domestic abuse that often goes unrecognised.
Son-to-mother abuse can involve coercive and controlling behaviour, intimidation, threats, financial exploitation, criminal damage and physical violence. The campaign aims to help people understand the warning signs and reassure those affected that support is available. Matricide | Merseyside Police

JAILED | A drug dealer has been jailed after being caught with cocaine following a police pursuit in Scarisbrick.
On 29 December last year, officers pursued a grey Chevrolet on Wyke Lane in Scarisbrick before locating two men on foot on Rimmer Green.
A search of the area led officers to the vehicle, which had been abandoned nearby. They also recovered a large quantity of white powder close to the car. Subsequent analysis confirmed it was cocaine, packaged into varying weights for individual deals ready to supply on the streets.
Following enquiries, Reece Dodd, 23, of Forest Road, Southport, was charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, possession of a controlled Class B (cannabis) and dangerous driving.
Appearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday 4 November, Dodd pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was also disqualified from driving for three years and eight months and will be required to take an extended driving test before being allowed back on the road.
Detective Inspector Kevin O'Rourke said: “Drug dealing is a blight on our communities, causes misery to families and is often linked to the exploitation of children. We are relentless in pursuing those involved in drug dealing and serious organised crime.
“Our work to bring those responsible to justice continues every day, and I would urge anyone with information about this type of criminality to come forward so action can be taken.”
Anyone with information about suspected drug dealing or criminal activity in their community can contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X or Facebook @MerPolCC.
Information can also be provided via the Merseyside Police website or by calling 101.
Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via its website.
In an emergency, always call 999.
