A man who murdered his partner with a kitchen knife was suffering psychosis from excessive use of the pain medication Tramadol, a court has been told. 9News

He said Eckersley delusionally believed Ms Harris was poisoning him and that their kitchen was contaminated.

Eckersley started using the painkiller in September 2016 after a workplace accident that injured his knee. Associate Prof Carroll said Eckersley made a complete recovery from the psychosis a few days after he was arrested and the use of Tramadol had ceased. His barrister Tim Marsh conceded the crime was "a nasty example of a domestic murder" and "Amanda Harris' death was utterly senseless and completely undeserved".

Paedophile whose victims were as young as 15 months old among Australia's worst, court toldAn Adelaide paedophile who sexually violated more than a dozen children in Australia and Thailand, and shared videos of the abuse, is described as one of Australia's worst child sex offenders. Unfortunately, from all reports this particular matter is but the tip of the iceberg. Wonderful he`s off the streets. Castration. Should be an instant action taken. Disgusting creature. In training for the Catholic clergy. At least he had the conviction of pleading guilty, unlike some of the clergy.
