Man who attempted to strangle nurse with a sock given permission to leave mother's home

A man who attempted to murder a teenager at a popular Dublin hiking spot and assaulted a psychiatric nurse by attempting to strangle him with a sock has been given permission to move out of his mother's home.

Justice Michael White at the Central Criminal Court today told Michael Corbett, who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, that he must continue taking his medication when he moves to his new home or he risks having a psychotic episode.
