Independent psychiatric report due in Sarah Groves murder trial

Richard De Wit

An independent psychiatric report of Richard De Wit, accused of murdering Guernsey woman Sarah Groves, is expected to be submitted to a court in India today.

Dutchman De Wit was classed as unfit to stand trial by two Dutch experts in a review commissioned by the Dutch government.

The court holding the trial in India then requested an independent review into De Wit's mental health.

The Dutch report claims he suffers from a 'long-term and chronic psychotic disorder within the schizophrenia spectrum' and says he is convinced he is being poisoned.

24-year-old Sarah Groves was found dead on a houseboat in Kashmir in 2013.
