A man accused of murdering his own grandson today told how he drowned the youngster in a bath - but he continues to plead not guilty to murder.
Stewart Greene, 65, killed Alex Robinson, nine, while his mum was out shopping for a Christmas turkey.
Giving evidence in court he apologised to his daughter Joanne, ex-wife Andrea and Alex's dad John.
Greene said: "I'm so sorry to Joanne and Andrea and to John Robinson.
He admitted that he did nothing to help Joanne and Andrea when they made desperate attempts at CPR.
Greene was discharged from a psychiatric unit against his will two weeks before the killing on December 23 last year.
Lincoln Crown Court heard he later told a psychiatrist "I'm just an evil murdering b*****d who killed his grandson".
During cross-examination Michael Evans QC asked Greene: "You knew you wanted to kill Alex. Is that right?"
Greene replied: "Yes... I knew I was killing him. Yes. I killed Alex.
Greene then added: "I don't think I can say any more. I've admitted the offence. "I've done what I've done."
The trial continues.

Greene said: "I'm so sorry to Joanne and Andrea and to John Robinson.
"The truth is I killed Alex. I thought about it the night before. "I walked Alex into the bathroom and put him in the bath. I'd run the bath before I called him. Two taps running quicker.
"I think at the time he asked me if I was going to wash myself. "I picked him up and put him in the bath and drowned him. He was struggling. He struggled until I drowned him."He told the jury that after he realised Alex was dead he had a cigarette and sat down.
