With the pews of her village church filled by family and friends, Tina Bauld's funeral came to a close to the sound of the Abba song Dancing Queen.Earlier in the service her husband, Tom, had shared his favourite memory of the 55-year-old, recalling how on a holiday to Croatia he had returned to their cruise ship from a solo day trip to find Tina leading the crew around the deck dancing the conga.
On the morning of Sunday March 3, as Tina prepared to take their dog out for a walk, the 23-year-old appeared armed with a Sabatier kitchen knife with a foot-long blade. There, Bauld was arrested without a struggle, telling police his dead mother was a 'paedophile' and claiming: 'She deserved it.'So why did this young man, a 'mummy's boy' who had enjoyed such a warm and affluent upbringing, wreak such terrible violence against the person who loved him most?Blood tests revealed that in the hours before the killing he had taken a cocktail of drugs, including LSD, ketamine and cannabis.
He will be sentenced for manslaughter next month with Judge Tim Spencer KC telling the court that public protection would be at the 'heart of his thinking' as the evidence suggested Bauld was a 'continuing danger'. At the same time, Tina was a familiar and much-loved figure in Burbage, where she worked as a pharmacy dispenser.
In 2018, he made two suicide attempts, once throwing himself at a car, banging his head on the windscreen, and once by taking an overdose.After he threatened to kill his mother for being an alien in December that year, his father contacted a GP - with his son telling the medic he felt his 'mum was controlling everything, and he threatened to kill her then himself'.
In the early hours of the following morning Mr Bauld heard his son 'howling' in his bedroom. When he went up to investigate he found him snorting ketamine off a saucer using the plastic casing from a pen. The witness added that Bauld had been fearful that his parents were threatening to send him back to hospital, saying: 'He seemed frightened.'
