UK, November 2: In a shocking turn in ‘Katie Locke’ killing, the man accused of murder reportedly told prison staff he would prove he was mentally ill by killing someone. Carl Langdell, a resident of Essex, was charged with murdering teacher Katie Locke (23) on Christmas Eve in 2015 and had been remanded in custody. The duo had met on a dating website. He had lied to her about being a lawyer and set up a fake LinkedIn account to make his lies seem more convincing.
Langdell, while serving in prison, was later diagnosed with emotionally unstable, dissocial, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders, however, an expert ruled that he was not psychotic and that he was ‘fabricating’ delusions.
