Man who killed his mother with hammer moved to open prison A man who murdered his mother with a hammer when he was a teenager in a plot inspired by Coronation Street has been moved to an open prison, it is understood.
The Sun has reported that Simon Matters, Jacqueline’s partner, was asked to provide an impact statement when Bartlam applied to be moved to an open prison in January 2024.
Daniel Bartlam was 14 when he killed mother Jacqueline at their home in Redhill, Nottingham, before burning her body in April 2011.
Bartlam hit his mother seven times with a claw hammer at their home in April 2011.
Bartlam was jailed for 16 years in April 2012 after a jury unanimously found him guilty of murdering his 47-year-old mother.
