Kate Moss’ stalker admits killing his mum, 73, and dad, 67, after couple found stabbed to death 15 miles apart
A KILLER who stalked Kate Moss has today admitted stabbing his parents to death in separate houses 15 miles from each other.

Warrington’s actions were said to have “caused distress to the celebrity in question and her family”.
The court heard today he was detained under the Mental Health Act after being arrested on February 17 this year when he attacked his housemate with a knife.
He was taken to the Wotton Lawn psychiatric unit but was granted unescorted leave on March 1 to go from the ward to the courtyard.
Warrington was seen on CCTV leaving the unit through the front door in reception but the alarm was not raised until midnight when staff realised he was missing.

He had taken a taxi from to Bourton-on-the-Water, which he had booked that morning in the name of “Peter”, at 9.45pm.
The killer bought two bottles of brandy and two cans of Red Bull while on the journey before being dropped five minutes from his mum’s home.
Anna Vigars KC, prosecuting, said: “He broke into the house and he killed his mother.
“He has given different accounts and having killed Valerie Warrington he fell asleep in the house before leaving in the car and driving over her body on the lawn.”
Warrington then made his way to his dad’s home the following morning and bought a bottle of wine.
Horrified neighbours heard loud banging coming from the flat and Clive shouting: “Why are you doing this?”
Police were scrambled to the house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, where they later found blood-covered Warrington wandering along a road.
Valerie was then found with knife wounds after police attended her home following a concern for welfare.
A post-mortem found Clive had suffered knife wounds to his head, face and eyes and his throat had been cut.
His ex-wife also had injuries to her eyes, her throat had been cut and she had been run over by a car.
Warrington has been at Broadmoor Hospital since he knifed his parents on March 2.
A statement from Clive and Valerie’s children read: “We are devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of our parents.
