Trial due to start tomorrow.
 

During a police interview, Mr Monzo claimed his personality had switched and he compared the events to the movie The Hunger Games.

He also told police that he had "many personalities" and that one of them was a "professional assassin", the prosecution said.

When police searched his home, they found a cat he had killed and skinned, as well as a quantity of cannabis, jurors were told.

Mr Little said Mr Monzo's behaviour was triggered "by self-induced intoxication in the form of drugs" which led to a psychotic disorder.

He added the defence's case was that the defendant was "most likely suffering from a pre-existing condition which created a vulnerability to experiencing psychotic episodes with schizophrenia-like symptoms, prompted by his use of cannabis".

Drug-induced psychosis is not a recognised medical condition and cannot alone establish diminished responsibility, Mr Little said, adding that psychiatrists will discuss whether Mr Monzo met the threshold for a schizotypal disorder diagnosis.
 
Oh my god this man was INSANE. Obviously we knew that anyway considering the attacks he carried out, but wow... "skinning" and "deboning" his own cat. Of course it was during a supposed schizophrenic episode, but since he ordered the sword weeks before, how premeditated actually was it?
