I will never understand it.

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/david-reid-sydney-man-who-killed-his-...

A Sydney man who was angry at his mum and dad before killing them is now less dangerous to the public because “significant stressors in his life are no longer present”, a court has heard.

David Reid, 48, appeared in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of his parents Diana and Graham at the Sutherland home where they had all been living in 2019.

The former IT worker had pleaded to the lesser charge by reason of mental impairment instead of murder last year and prosecutors didn’t oppose that so the need for a trial was avoided.

Police said at the time of the killings Reid had dialled triple-0 threatening self-harm before the bodies of his parents were found in the property’s kitchen and lounge room with multiple injuries including stab wounds.

When it was put to forensic psychologist Dr Susan Pulman that she thought Reid’s future risk to the community was “not very great”, she told the court that major stressors in his life were no longer around.

“There is clearly a risk, but my own opinion in this matter is that we have Mr Reid with a major depressive order developing over time that substantially impaired his thought process regarding his living situation, his relationships at home that culminated in the offences and, now that that has occurred, it is my view that one of the significant stressors in his life are no longer present … so that feeds into his risk,” she said.

One psychiatric report had also raised the possibility of Reid being autistic.

However, Dr Pulman said it wasn’t unusual for people who have grown up in an environment where there’s not typical emotional reciprocity between caregivers and children to develop symptoms that present as autistic-like traits.

The court was told psychiatric experts could not definitively explain Reid’s mental condition apart from a potential major depressive order which had substantially impaired his thinking.

He was living at home with his parents despite being in his 40s, had a reliance on booze and had no intimate relationships.

The court heard conflicting accounts of the relationship between Reid and his parents, with one psychiatric report saying they found him to be a disappointment while Justice Peter Johnson, SC, saying he was left with an impression they were patient and caring.

Justice Johnson was told Reid’s case was unusual because most people are diagnosed with psychotic conditions in their late teens or early 20s.

Forensic psychiatrist Dr Adam Martin said he thought Reid still could be dangerous and that police photographs had shown the house in a state of disrepair which could reflect a degree of dysfunction between the three.

“I do not think it’s possible to say he’s at low risk of re-offending, unfortunately,” he said.

“I don’t think anyone has fully understood what was happening, the best speculation is that he was severely depressed … he was angry at his parents, which can be part of a depressive illness and he killed them.”





thats good   he killed his mum and dad   who obviously annoyed the hell out of him   so he will be less likely to offend again now they are out of the way.... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

we have to take into account he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and saved a hell of a lot of money with a court case.....all in the name of justice....


this is where we are at by the look of things

  claim a moment of madness   and get the sympathy of the court system.....which  seems to be run for the sake of the villains rather than any victims..I am sure he will end up with a low sentence and placed in a safe jail away from nasty people...

We really need to open up those Mental Institutions, again.  Lock them away with their "stresses" if it is going to cause them to commit murder. Unbelievable!

significant stressors in his life are no longer present

Well that's obvious isn't it?, he killed them, now he wants his inheritance, that'd be a further stress reliever. He's on top of the world, a soft sentence coming up, no annoying parents to bother him, inherits a house, no more stress, and government sickness benefit to live on for as long as he needs it

that psychologist was probably paid as the 'expert witness'  by the defense team ... in which case she'll say whatever is to HER clients best interest. The expert witness for the DPP, the psychiatrist, said the opposite

Ultimately it was up to the public prosecutor to accept the lessor plea or not. They should never have agreed to it.

yes two different outcomes  what does that say about psychologists??? put that word in front  of a name and people think they have all the answers   and thats why we have so many people wandering the streets and aged parents being held responsible for them...  these people make a huge amount of money   and to me  99% of them are phonies..
