Cavan man who killed fellow patient 'insane from drug withdrawal'
A consultant psychiatrist has told a court it is his view that a Cavan man who smothered another patient in a psychiatric unit was insane from drug withdrawal symptoms.
50-year-old Ian Harman of Carrigallen Mountain Lodge, Cootehill, admits causing the death of 82-year-old Michael Traynor at Cavan General Hospital in June 2011 but denies murder.
