Manslaughter accused may have been unfit for Garda interview, court hears

A doctor has accepted under cross-examination that a man accused of manslaughter may have been unfit for garda interview shortly after he was arrested and detained for the offence.

Dr Harold Kahn described in evidence how he had given heroin addict Paul Gibbons 30 millilitres of methadone and two Diazepam tablets during a visit to him in custody, but had deemed him fit for interview.
