Psychiatrist's Dilemma in Somali Murder Case

0:00I'm Cory with the story. That's your Europe News Today update. AI-powered and always on. A psychiatrist evaluating Ahmed Abdiraman, a 32-year-old Somali national, charged with the murder of young Belfast mother Mary Ward, is on the verge of quitting the case. Prison staff have been uncooperative, blocking proper access and frustrating the assessment process. At the Central Criminal Court today, Mr. Justice Paul McDermott, warned that a judicial review could be launched if the prison does not grant the psychiatrist full entry to meet the suspect. This delay risks slowing down the defense preparations in a high-profile killing that shocked the community. Court officials are now pushing for quick resolution to keep the trial on track without further hitches.
