Accused thought he was chosen 'to do God's work', court told

A mentally ill man killed his father because he thought he was "a prime mover in a conspiracy to destroy the world", a murder trial jury was told today.

Kevin Parker was also convinced he was "the saviour of the second coming" and said he had been selected at a religious meeting "to do God's work" before he killed his father, the jury at the Central Criminal Court was told.
