A man who pushed a young woman to her death from a pier was today ordered to be detained at a high security psychiatric hospital without limit of time.
Jacob Foster fatally attacked Charmaine O'Donnell, who was a stranger to him, at Helensburgh Pier, in Argyll and Bute, on April 23 in 2021. Ms O'Donnell, 25, sustained serious neck injuries and drowned after she was pushed into the water.
Foster, 30, from Helensburgh, who has a learning disability, was originally charged with murdering her but after an earlier trial was convicted of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.
