Dale Morgan admitted murdering his mother Judith Rhead in a house in Pembrokeshire, west Wales today. The 43-year-old was warned by a judge that he faced a life jail term when he is sentenced at Swansea Crown Court next month.
The court heard that Ms Rhead, 68, was murdered sometime between 10 December 2020 and 20 February this year.
During this period Morgan posted a series of odd Facebook rants.
In one, uploaded on January 9 when his mother may have lay dead, he wrote: “Would kill for a bath! Showers are great n’all…. but I’m In need of a bath. Help anyone??”
In another post, made just a week before Ms Rhead’s body was discovered, he shared a screenshot of a woman who said she’d bought her mother some laughing gas balloons to celebrate her finishing chemotherapy.
Morgan also shared a police appeal to find a suspected dognapper on the same date.
In other posts, he criticised the “Clap for Carers” weekly initiative during which millions of people across the country showed their appreciation for key workers by clapping at 7pm every Thursday.
In another post critical of the health service he shared a picture of a rock which told the NHS to “f*ck off”.
Morgan also criticised people who were worried about the Penally Camp near Tenby being used to house asylum seekers until March.

He wrote: “I’ve just been reading the comments on the local ‘news’ pages regarding the ongoing issues at Penally Camp.
“If you’ve ever wondered why the world is in the state it is in… have a read… but brace yourself… unless of course you’re a generally bigoted, xenophobic, self absorbed racist…
“Then knock yourself out. Literally if at all possible. #EmpathyIsDead
“P.s. delete me if you don’t like this post… or leave an angry ‘like’ & I’ll do it for you.”
Morgan was also critical of Conservative MPs Stephen Crabb and Simon Hart in another post – branding them “parasites”.
After news of the grim discovery emerged in February, the mayor of Pembroke Dock George Manning, extended sympathy to Ms Rhead’s family and friends on behalf of the town council and staff.
He told the Western Telegraph: “It is always sad to hear of any loss of life and particularly when it occurs in one’s local community.”
