Court heard Tuesday from Dr. Roger Brown, a forensic psychiatrist who recently examined Koshwal while in custody at Alberta Hospital.

Koshwal, 42, was charged with the brutal killing of 38-year-old Nadine Skow in her apartment in 2015. Court heard Skow, Koshwal’s ex-girlfriend, was stabbed 101 times. Several of her organs including her heart had been removed.

Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Sterling Sanderman found Koshwal guilty of second-degree murder and offering indignity to human remains Monday after an agreed statement of facts was entered with the court.

Koshwal’s defence lawyer, Peter Royal, is seeking to have his client deemed not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder.
