WINNIPEG — Court has heard a man was experiencing psychosis and thought higher powers were telling him his relatives and a colleague were"contaminated by evil" the day he killed his parents and attacked a hospital nursing supervisor.
Farley's lawyer told Manitoba Court of Kings' Bench Justice Kenneth Champagne that Farley acknowledges he committed the attacks, but should be found not criminally responsible due to mental illness."The Farley family has lost their parents. An innocent person has been attacked at her workplace." Court heard that before he attacked his parents, he was"severely impacted by psychotic symptoms" that doctors later believed were linked to bipolar disorder and manic-depressive episodes.
Szkwarek told police Farley had a"cold, steely" look in his eyes before he started stabbing her. She required life-saving surgery and was hospitalized for nearly four months. At the crisis centre two days before the attacks, Farley was shaking and reported he may have COVID-19, court heard. He was directed to the Health Sciences Centre, where he reported he was having a mental-health crisis, said the agreed statement of facts.
