Battling Schizophrenia

.. A man who murdered his ex-girlfriend, stuffed her in a cricket bag and hid her in the basement of a Queens Park apartment block was today sentenced to 27 years jail.

.. “The story behind this trial is a quite extraordinary one, involving great tragedy to a number of people.”

Matheson has been diagnosed with schizophrenia but opinion on his mental state at the time varied and was ruled by Acting Justice Mathews as a caustive factor in the killing.

He maintains his innocence and does not remember any details of that night.
