A ‘BULLY’ who murdered a 'vulnerable' caretaker by clubbing him to death with a baseball bat has been jailed for life today.

Glen Mould, 36, of Delph Close, Shadsworth, Blackburn had been picked on all his life for his facial deformity, police said.

But detectives said the abuse turned Mould into a bully and he was today jailed for life for killing Dominic Bibby, who worked for Blackburn College.

He will serve 16 years before he can be considered for parole.

Police said Mould had carried out an ‘evil crime’, beating Mr Bibby, 31, in every single room of his victim’s home.

Officers believe the trigger for the attack could have been when Mr Bibby, described as a vulnerable man who was a bullying victim, decided not to insure Mould's motorbike 'in a moment of defiance' against Mould's orders.

Detective Superintendent Neil Hunter said: “He started batt-ering him in the lounge and chased him through every room downstairs, then upstairs where it continued in the bedroom and finished off in the bathroom.

“Mr Bibby was so badly bat-tered and bruised and on his way to death, he came back down-stairs, led down on the settee where he faded away and died.

“It was an evil crime.

“Mr Bibby was a regular punchbag and his life was made hell.”

The court heard that Mr Bibby had been the victim of previous assaults ‘at the hands of another’ which had left him ‘in a vulnerable way’. The crown accepted Mould was not to blame for these incidents.

Mould was due to face trial at Preston Crown Court on Monday morning but asked for the charge of murdering Mr Bibby at sometime between December 17 and 20, 2010, to be put to him again.

He pleaded guilty. Today he was sentenced at Preston Crown Court.

Terence Swallow, 37, of Walton Street, Altham, has admitted per-verting the course of justice by helping dispose of evidence.

Peter Wright QC, defending, said his client Mould was 'anxious' to be sentenced as soon as possible.

Back in December, neighbours awoke to a crime scene after police received an anonymous tip-off from a public phone box in Rishton.

Police said Mr Bibby’s brother Jonathan had fled the shared house when Mould defaulted on his own rent at the house next door to the Bibbys and forced himself into their home.

Mould began preying on Bibby for food, shelter and warmth, according to police.

Both brothers had shared the mortgage and bills and had both worked together as caretakers and cleaners at Blackburn College, employed by Lancashire County Council.
