A man has been charged with trying to murder his bedridden mother in Sydney’s west.

The 36-year-old went to her home on Gallop Grove at Lalor Park at about 11.30pm on Wednesday to ask for money.

When the 64-year-old said she didn’t have any, her son allegedly used a pillow to try and smother her to death.
