A MAN who strangled a 16-year-old autistic boy to death in his bed at Charlestown while he was suffering a drug-induced psychosis was on Friday jailed for a maximum of 25 years in NSW Supreme Court.
Chadley Sheridan, now 25, was in September found guilty of murdering the boy in an unprovoked attack at a unit in Charlestown Road on March 15 last year, the jury finding the psychosis he was suffering at the time of the killing was caused solely by using drugs, particularly methamphetamine.
