An man who claimed he was fighting for Isis and was found not guilty of murdering a Japanese man by reason of insanity has been committed to the Central Mental Hospital (CMH) this morning (FRI). His trial heard that when he was questioned by gardai he said he was “fighting for Isis” and stabbed Mr Sasaki “for God”. However, Detective Inspector Martin Beggy told the trial Mr Morei showed signs of “serious thought disorder” and his claims of links to terrorism were “totally incoherent”. However, she said that if he were not committed to the Central Mental Hospital she fears he would be at high risk of relapse because his understanding of his need for treatment is very limited. Ms Justice Carmel Stewart accepted the psychiatrist’s recommendations and committed Mr Morei to the CMH.
