A SON who hacked his mother to death with a machete was locked up for life yesterday.
Usman Shahzad, 21, also used another knife and a shower rail to inflict 70 wounds on mum Assia, 40.
She lost several fingertips and her hands were almost severed as she fought to protect herself. But Assia bled to death.
Police were alerted by her lodgers, who heard screams almost drowned out by deafening music coming from a bedroom in Aylesbury, Bucks.
Officers broke down the door to find Shahzad standing on his butchered mother's neck as loud rap music blared. He had been the subject of a restraining order taken out by his businesswoman mother but she had not renewed it when it expired.
Aylesbury Crown Court heard Assia's recent marriage to a man in Pakistan was seen by her son as a threat to his inheritance.
Judge Christopher Tyrer said he must serve a minimum 20 years for the "abhorrent, ruthless and cold-blooded murder". Shahzad, who pleaded guilty, showed no emotion as he was led away to the cells.
