At a previous sentencing hearing, a letter written by Reid’s mother was referred to in court in which she asked for her son to be given a second chance and said Shiels fully supports him in his struggles with mental health. He added: “I’m going to adjourn because it is not appropriate that I rush into this.” He will pass sentence next Monday, 30 May.
Brady agreed with Greene that Shiels tried to calm the situation but was struck in the neck by Reid with the four-inch knife. Brady said Ms Reid had told her of a psychotic episode experienced by her son prior to the attack and that she had been “very concerned for his well-being”.
