Jacob Foster, who has a learning disability, fatally attacked Charmaine O'Donnell at Helensburgh Pier
A man who pushed a young woman to her death from a pier was today ordered to be detained at a high security psychiatric hospital without limit of time.
A judge at the High Court in Edinburgh told Foster: "This is an utterly tragic case. That hardly needs to be said. Charmaine O'Donnell was a young woman with her whole life in front of her."Lord Fairley said was "much loved and greatly missed" and there was no sentence that he could pass that would ever mitigate the grief and loss felt by her family at her passing.
A restriction order is an order without any defined limit of time. Under it Scottish Ministers need to give approval for a move to a different hospital or for periods spent out of hospital. They began chatting to three men who were fishing and Ms McTaggart said it appeared Foster was trying to become involved in the conversation. She said that neither she nor her friend knew him.
