Christopher Devine
A father-of-six who admits killing but denies murdering his friend when he opened fire on him with a submachine gun in his front garden was suffering from substance-induced psychotic disorder which would have diminished his capacity to control himself, a psychiatrist told his trial today.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr John Hillery said Christopher Devine told him he was “shovelling big shovels of s*** up his nose” at the time of the offence.
