Father 'stressed' after Iraq duty (UK-Murdered Terminally Ill Son)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/4332959.stm

A father accused of murdering his terminally ill son was suffering from stress after working in Iraq as a security guard, a court has been told.

Former SAS soldier Andrew Wragg, 37, of Worthing, West Sussex, denies murdering Jacob, 10, but admits manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility.

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Wright told Lewes Crown Court Mr Wragg was delusional when he killed his son.

He said severe stress had led to an "abnormality of mind" in Mr Wragg.
