‘Don’t know if he’s insane or evil’: Man accused of murder secretly recorded and tracked wife, court told

Before Mourad Kerollos stabbed his wife to death, he installed a GPS tracker in her car, secretly recorded her conversations and bombarded her with phone calls demanding photos of her companions, a court has heard.

Mr Kerollos is facing a judge-alone trial in the NSW Supreme Court accused of murdering Gihan “Gigi” Kerollos, 48, by stabbing her in the neck outside Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick at about 8.30pm on May 18, 2019.

The 62-year-old does not deny killing his wife, but has pleaded not guilty due to mental illness. Acting Justice Peter Hidden must decide if Mr Kerollos was so mentally ill that he is not liable for murder, or if his liability is reduced to manslaughter.

A forensic psychiatrist is expected to tell the trial that Mr Kerollos was experiencing a mental disorder such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, which included auditory hallucinations, delusional beliefs, referential ideation, and a “delusion of infidelity” also known as “the Othello syndrome”.
