“Your account of demons is utter nonsense, a fantasy to pull the wool. Killing her was your intention.'
Following a two-week trial, the jury took less than three hours to reject his claim and unanimously find him guilty.Judge Andrew Hatton told the court this morning: “Your account of demons is utter nonsense, a fantasy to pull the wool.Eileen and Mark Barrott.“Only you know the circumstances of her death and you have failed to share them.
Sentencing was delayed this morning after Barrott took a suspected overdose last night, but was cleared to attend court. Addressing him like he was in the dock, Judge Hatton said: “By your absence you have deprived the authors of the victim personal statements to deliver their words in your presence.”
It was documented throughout the trial that Barrott suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and a depressive disorder, and believed in the occult which led to him claiming there were “dark forces” in the house.
