Woman believes son will kill family because of failed mental health services

'When he kills one of us they will find him a bed for the rest of his life'

At an in-camera hearing of Cork District Court for domestic violence cases, the man’s mother said: 'I certainly believe it is not a question of if he will kill us but when.'

 A middle-aged woman believes that her son has been failed by the mental health services and that it is now only a matter of time before he kills his family.

A six-month jail term was imposed on the 33-year-old Cork man who was convicted of breaching Domestic Violence orders by threatening to kill his parents and members of his family.
