She wouldn't have liked the fact that he might be leaving.

She saw it as rejection.

And rather than have him leave her, it was better to do this.

The evidence shows that he started off in a fetal position in the bed.

You're right, he has then tried to drag himself away.

And as soon as he did that, she then cut his spine to make sure he couldn't even move, yeah.

killed somebody this is it must have taken her an hour hours to commit the crime and then do what she did to the corpse and then start cooking it and her lawyers were trying to convince the court that she had suffered from i guess the form of psychosis where she disassociated and had amnesia is what they were saying and the court rejected that and uh

Because I think there were so many elements of planning and constructed conduct.

I've represented clients that have committed murder in a state of psychosis and it doesn't make any sense when you see the behaviour.

They're captured on CCTV, for example, talking to the wall, carrying on.

You can tell they're seeing and hearing things.

Even the way the crime comes about, it's very...

unexpected.

So there's a real difference between psychosis and rage where it happens impulsively or snap moment as opposed to something like hers where it was so methodical, you know, to purchase a hook to then to do what she did in terms of repel, if I could use that word, to then plan that meal for the children and then to actually lie to police that she had blacked out because what the court picked up on as well is that

She was very clear on certain memories right up until the interview and that's not a sign of psychosis or blacking out.

She was selective in her memory.

So the evidence showed it wasn't.

They had various psychiatrists assess her and a couple of them said there was disassociation.

A couple of them, I think, mentioned psychosis, but the court wasn't happy in terms of the extent of it.
