Two admit in court to killing grandmother, 66

From Daily Telegraph

TWO men pleaded guilty yesterday to the 1987 manslaughter of a grandmother who landed head-first on a concrete kerb during a bungled bag snatch.

Glen Neil Sparks, 46, and David Gordon Stracey, 48, pleaded guilty in Central Local Court to the manslaughter of Po Cin Lim by a dangerous and unlawful act.

The 66-year-old died of head injuries on October 6, 1987, the day after she was dragged alongside a stolen panelvan at the corner of Goulburn and Pitt Sts in central Sydney.

Sparks and Stracey also pleaded guilty to robbery in company for snatching another woman's bag minutes before they targeted Ms Lim.

The magistrate adjourned the sentencing of the men to the Supreme Court on July 2.
