A MAN has today admitted murdering a dad and son who were shot dead in their homes six miles apart.
Joshua Dunmore, 32, and his dad Gary, 57, both died in Cambridgeshire on March 29.
Stephen Alderton, 66, today pleaded guilty to two counts of murder at Cambridge Crown Court.
He denied one count of possession of a firearm, a double-barrelled shotgun, with intent to cause fear of violence to another person.
That charge was left to lie on the file by prosecutors.
Alderton was remanded into custody to be sentenced on October 20.
Police discovered the bodies of the dad and son at properties in The Row, Sutton, and Meridian Close, Bluntisham.
Officers were first scrambled to Joshua's home at around 9pm, before a 999 call was received 37 minutes later reporting gunshots.
An inquest previously heard how Gary died of gunshot wounds to the head and torso.
Joshua suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest, the court was told.
