A Toronto man in his early 40s just got convicted of second-degree murder for killing his 69-year-old mother and in a Tobacco part back in. 20-21 Colin Hatcher was 37 when police arrested him near the Old Mill subway station, where they found Kathleen Hatcher with severe injuries and no vital signs on a trail. He had actually called 911 herself right before it all went down, according to the judge's decision. His defense team argued he wasn't responsible because of a long history of schizophrenia and mental instability, but superior court justice, Sean. Nakaturu wasn't buying it fully. The judge admitted Hatcher was suffering from mental illness at the time. Yet ruled he still knew his actions were morally wrong, making him criminally liable. He'll face sentencing in June, marking the end of this tough case.
