Ajelan Lewis suffered from substance induced psychosis – court hears
His victim was a tourist to the Territory who hails from Antigua and was at the time visiting the home of a friend, the same home where the accused was at the time.
In presenting the facts of the case yesterday the court was startled to hear that the man was able to clearly recount the incident of the day as he gave a clear description of what happened and what led him to commit the crime.
He told police that he was hearing voices in his head at the time. “I was hearing voices. I was thinking fast. I went into the house and grabbed the knife from the kitchen and went outside and hold the girl head and cut she throat with the knife,” the court heard.
It was also related that it took one person who saw what was happening to shout out to Lewis and another holding him down that caused him to release the woman.
Yesterday he was not required to plead to the indictable offense but is scheduled for another court appearance on February 6, 2015.
