Former Wentworth Deputy Mayor Paul Cohrs has been found guilty of murdering his mother at her Red Cliffs home.
The 64-year-old shot dead his 81-year-old mother in October 2018 after years of fighting over financial matters, with a Victorian Supreme Court jury finding him guilty yesterday, after less than three hours of deliberation.
The defence argued Cohrs suffered from a delusional disorder at the time and therefore shouldn’t be found guilty of murder.

Cohrs admitted shooting dead his brother at Lake Victoria an hour before the death of his mother.
He’ll return to court in September for a plea hearing.
