Son who killed AFL coach’s rights to exit psychiatric facility revoked
The man who stabbed his own father to death while suffering through a severe mental health condition will be locked down in full detention after an apparent decline in his condition.The courts found Cy to be mentally incompetent with undiagnosed schizophrenia at the time of the shocking attack and the state has since held Mr Walsh in a secure psychiatric facility.
In 2021, he was granted permission to leave the facility for unsupervised day trips into Adelaide, but on Wednesday, Justice Anne Bampton revoked that provision over concerns for Cy’s mental stability.She set a review period of six months to assess Cy’s mental state, with a hearing booked for April 9, 2024.
Lawyer Trish Johnson, appearing for Cy, did not object to the order but noted there was no suggestion her client had offended or breached any conditions of the provision. “I would be seeking leave for Your Honour to allow us to contact chambers and seek an early listing should his mental health stabilise earlier than six months,” she said.Phil Walsh was 55 years old at the time of his death.
