A MENTALLY-ill mother drowned her seven-year-old son in the bath then declared he had been a witch, a court heard.
Christina Acres, 37, admits killing George Acres at the family home last July but has pleaded not guilty to his murder by reason of insanity.
Andrew Jackson, prosecuting, said that Acres had “a history of mental illness”, adding: “On any view, this is a deeply tragic case.”
He said the mum strangled the lad before drowning him on the morning of July 23 — the start of the school summer holidays — in Rochford, Essex.
The court heard that in the days before the tragedy she believed people were trying to murder her and talked of the “Illuminati”, and that after the killing she referred to George as a “witch”.
Acres and her son were living at her parents’ home in Rochford at the time of the killing, following the breakdown of her marriage in 2012.
On the day of George’s death, Acres’s lorry driver father was at work in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and her mother was also due at work.
“She (Acres’s mother) satisfied herself as best she could that Mrs Acres would be alright and left for work at about 8.15am,” said Mr Jackson.
“About an hour later at about 9.20am Mrs Acres telephoned her father and repeatedly asked him to come home.”
Her father alerted his wife, who called a community psychiatric nurse, then he received a further call from Acres.

“She told her father she had just strangled George and wanted to … kill herself. He immediately called his wife and she raced home.
“There she found George’s body.”
The trial at Basildon crown court continues.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
