Judge to rule on in-patient assessment

A judge recognised potential danger of a woman found not guilty by reason of insanity on charges related to putting a knife to the throat of a colleague during a paranoid delusion but he did not order an in-patient assessment of her yesterday.

Erica Gill, aged 40, previously of Ozalid House, Camden Quay, Cork, and now living with her parents in Co Clare, was found not guilty by reason of insanity earlier this week on three charges arising out of the violent incident.
