Insanity verdict for man who killed his mother in Clontarf

CommittedAdvertisementFollowing the jury verdict Ms Justice Eileen Creedon committed Mr Murray to the Central Mental Hospital until Wednesday when the court will hear from a psychiatrist about Mr Murray's ongoing treatment. Brendan Murray pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to her murder. She suggested that the jury first consider the question of whether the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Murray unlawfully killed his mother. When a person pleads not guilty by reason of insanity under the Criminal Law (Insanity) Act 2006, the burden of proof shifts to the defence, she said. Ms Justice Creedon reminded the jury that Dr Wright had said that the accused meets the criteria for a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first and second Manchester United spells compared

Cristiano Ronaldo’s “betrayal” outburst is the latest note in his troubled season at Manchester United.
