THE mother of a man convicted of killing his grandmother has vowed to stand by her son after he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Kathleen Kane said her son Garry Kane plans to appeal against his conviction and should never have been found guilty for the murder of her mother, Kathleen Milward, 87.
Kane, 41, must serve at least 17 years before he is eligible to apply for parole after beating the pensioner to death in her bungalow in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, on January 3 last year.
