St Helier killings
6 Answers
Hi all
Does anyone remember last August in St Helier a Polish man killed six people. Most of these were members of his family.
I have just read a small piece in The Scotsman which says that he has been found guilty of six counts of manslaughter.
Seems he claimed diminished responsibility due to depression.
How difficult is it to substantiate a claim of diminished responsibility?
