I Recently killed a man in Self-defense. Because there were no other witnesses I was charged with manslaughter. I am currently out on Bail. And awaiting trial. I cant go into detail about the case for obvious reasons but I can show you what was in the newspaper at the time of the incident. It is as follows:

A Halifax man has been charged with manslaughter in a fatal stabbing in Spryfield early Tuesday.

M****** E***, 28, will appear in Halifax provincial court today, Sgt. Bill Morris of Halifax Regional Police said Tuesday night.

Robert D****** P****, 48, died after being stabbed in a third-floor apartment at 6 Foxwood Terrace. Police rushed there after receiving a 911 call at 1:34 a.m.

E*** was arrested at the scene.

"Upon arrival, we located two men in the apartment," Const. Brian Palmeter said outside the long, brick apartment building.

"One was suffering from a single stab wound to his upper torso. That individual was taken to hospital where he was pronounced deceased."

Palmeter would not say who called police. He said officers weren't’t initially sure who lived in the apartment and were going to speak with the landlord to find out.

E*** was remanded Tuesday night to the ***** **** ***** Correctional Facility in D********, Morris said.

E**** and P**** knew each other.

P***** death does not appear to be connected to any other criminal matter, and he was known to police, Palmeter said.

A man who said he works at the apartment building but wouldn’t give his name said the building has about 140 units. A sign at the entrance noted that security cameras are on the site. Several other apartment buildings are nearby and use the same entrance.

The building’s property is separated by a chain-link fence from the J.L. Ilsley High School parking lot.

Elaine Crawford, whose second-floor apartment is directly below the crime scene, said a young man moved into that apartment about three months ago. She said he occasionally came to her door asking to borrow items, and he had visited her at about 7 p.m. Monday to ask for potatoes.

"He said he only wanted a few and so I gave him about six potatoes," she said.

Crawford said the young man gave her a couple of dollars for the potatoes.

She described him as a thin, very handsome, white man with short dark hair. She didn’t know his name.

About three or four hours before police came, Crawford heard a lot of noise coming from the apartment, she said.

"About 10 or 11 p.m., I heard a real big thunk, bang, boom and I thought, ‘Oh my God, that guy upstairs must be noisy.’ "

Things returned to normal and she thought nothing of it until police arrived hours later. Even then, she didn’t learn until much later that a stabbing had taken place.

I am living with my parents right now. And things seem to be going a little better. However I am having a very hard time dealing with this. At first a felt a major amount of guilt. And sometimes I feel like he deserved it. I think about it allot. At least 100 times a day. I am afraid about whats gonna happen in court, I know the guy tried to kill me but I second-guess myself, I have blocked things out and cant remember certain things that night, I have nightmares about it, I forget things like the sounds he made while he was dying and what I said to the 911 operator, It seems so surreal. I killed my friend because I truly believed I had no other choice (or did I). Was this my fate? Why did this happen to me? Where can I get help for something like this?
