Browns founder accused of murdering mother with morphine

The prosecution says the siblings gave their mother extra morphine, and the trial is expected to last about four weeks.

  • A jury was selected on Monday at Oxford Crown Court for the trial of Jeremy Mogford and his sister Sarah Pickering, accused of murdering their 100-year-old mother Pamela Mogford in February 2022.
  • Prosecutors allege the siblings administered extra liquid morphine called Oramorph to 'speed up' their mother's death; the defendants deny murder, maintaining they provided medication to relieve her suffering.
  • Text messages reveal Pickering wrote 'I am actually killing her' and 'hoping she will slip away in the night.' Prosecutors claim they administered four times the dosage the GP had given.
  • High Court judge Mr Justice Jay is overseeing the proceedings at Oxford Crown Court, where both defendants remain on bail and sit with their legal teams rather than in the dock.
  • The trial is expected to last four weeks and involve complicated expert evidence regarding the death in Bledlow Ridge; a June 2023 post-mortem examination recorded the cause as unascertained.
