SON WHO STABBED FATHER 110 TIMES AND FILMED HIM DETAINED AT STATE HOSPITAL
A KILLER son who stabbed his dad 110 times and filmed him as he lay dying has been ordered to be detained at The State Hospital.
Christopher Gray, 49, bludgeoned father Alexander, 73, on the head, neck, chest and arm in a frenzied attack at their home in Falkirk last February.
He was later discovered by police still clutching a knife while kneeling over the pensioner, who had passed away by then.
Gray had faced a murder charge in December, but was acquitted after prosecutors accepted he was suffering from a mental disorder at the time.
Doctors found he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia when he set upon his dad.
At the High Court in Glasgow today, Lady Stacey ruled he be held at the high security mental health facility at Carstairs, Lanarkshire.
Gray, who followed proceedings via video link, was told by the judge : “I know that you do not agree with the diagnosis, but take that you are prepared to their advice for treatment.
