R v Lipman |
D and gf consumed a lotd of LSD on the night in question and during a hallucination he killed his gf by striking her on the head and forcing a bed sheet down her throat. He felt he was falling to the centre of the earth and being attacked by snakes. He may not have known the nature and quality of the act but the reason was that because of LSD and not disease of the mind so insanity was not available as a defence |
