Killer says Anuj Bidve had the 'biggest head'

July 17, 2012 00:48

A Briton standing trial for the killing of Indian student Anuj Bidve told a clinical psychologist that he selected the victim from the group of Indian students "only because he had the biggest head".

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, has admitted manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility, but denies murder. Bidve's parents are attending the trial at the Manchester Crown Court. Dr Adrian West, who interviewed Stapleton, told the court today that he asked him why he had selected Bidve from the group of students on Boxing Day. West said: "He replied, 'only because he had the biggest head'".

He quoted Stapleton as saying: "I blew a hole in his head. There is nothing I can say, nothing whatsoever. They should have got a taxi. Things would have been different if they had got a taxi". When asked about his own situation, Stapleton said: "My life has just turned upside down within the click of a finger."
