Thamer Hameed Almestadi was likely suffering from a brief psychotic episode when he attacked a fellow international student, a judge said Thursday. Almestadi told police at the time that he'd believed God commanded him to sacrifice her.
The Saudi Arabian national will be detained in custody at the forensic psychiatric hospital in Chilliwack.
Almestadi was 18 when he attacked University of British Columbia student Mary Hare in October 2016, the court heard during his trial. Accused of slitting Hare's throat and attempting to choke her, he was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

This isn't the first time an asslifter used the crazy defense. They know exactly what they're doing. They don't want to be martyrs, and they know what works to stay out of jail.
