The trial for a man accused of a murder in Kilbride last year is expected to proceed as scheduled, despite issues with his mental health.

There was some question as to whether 40-year-old Dwayne Ginn was fit to stand trial after a bizarre outburst in Supreme Court one month ago.

At the time, he swore repeatedly while denouncing his Canadian citizenship, demanding that King Charles himself hear the case.

He also complained that he’d been deprived for months of his medication for PTSD.

But there was no sign of hostility yesterday, with Ginn sitting quietly in the docket as his lawyer, John Noonan, spoke on his behalf.

Ginn, who remains in custody, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 41-year-old Mark Hamlyn.

The killing occurred in the early-morning hours of June 14 last year at a Kilbride boarding house.

The owner has told media that Ginn’s mental health was a concern leading up to the incident, something Ginn himself has acknowledged in court.

His two-week trial is set to begin with jury selection in late November.
