Gerald Stark was heard 'talking to God'
A man stabbed his partner in the neck before choking a stranger in the street as she walked her dogs.Stark, also 47, then fled before pouncing on 69 year-old Ann Ewing a short time later - wrapping a ligature around her neck and knocking her unconscious.He went on to claim to witnesses who rushed to her aid that she had been the victim of a road collision.
His lawyers - backed by medical evidence - stated he was suffering from a psychotic episode at the time and should be acquitted.Jurors yesterday found him not guilty having accepted he was affected by a mental disorder that day. The court heard, before the attack on her, Miss Gillan and Stark had been chatting about a hoover being in a cupboard.
After leaving his partner for dead, he encountered Miss Ewing in the town's Calderwood Road while she was out walking her two Romanian rescue dogs around 15 minutes later.He still had hold of the woman as one concerned passer-by quizzed him on what had happened.He then went on to point to a man further up the street as being "responsible".The trial largely hinged on medical evidence and whether jurors accepted Stark was mentally ill at the time.
