- High Court
On the evidence of two consultant psychiatrists and unchallenged factual material (witness statements, police evidence, contemporaneous texts and post‑mortem), the Court found on the balance of probabilities that Ms T is unfit to stand trial due to mental impairment and that the Crown's evidence is sufficient on the balance of probabilities to establish she caused the victim's death; matter adjourned to a disposition hearing to determine detention and related orders.
