Mentally ill man decapitates his wife

#1

Post by PogMoThoin22 »

He was failed by the mental health services of this country and of course cannabis is the red herring, the cannabis made him do it
He had been detained under the Mental Health Act in Dublin city centre two days previously by gardaí who saw him running through the city centre barefoot, wearing only shorts.

He was taken to the Mater hospital and assessed but he left hospital the next day and killed his wife in the early hours of the following morning.

The jury also heard that Ms de Campos Silva told doctors in the Mater that she had noticed a change in her husband's behaviour on 30 October. He had become paranoid and thought she was going to hurt him.

When she arrived to pick him up on 3 November, he initially hid from her before eventually being driven home by her.
