A man on trial for murder after stabbing his parents to death had recently injected the drug ice and was suffering a psychotic episode at the time, a court has heard. Graeme Leslie Murray admits killing his parents in their home at Oberon, in the NSW Central Tablelands region, in the early hours of August 13, 2021.
“The principal defence in this case is one of the defence of mental health impairment,” he said. Murray initially denied stabbing the couple when interviewed by police, but he later told psychiatrists he had killed them while suffering delusions that they were not really his parents. He claimed that after using methamphetamine his psychotic symptoms became more intense. Murray told psychiatrists he believed when he stabbed his mother, it was “like something evil was inside her”.
