A pensioner suffering with dementia has been found guilty of committing the act of killing his neighbour. Alan Fare, 72, was found guilty of the act of killing Mandy Houghton by unanimous verdict at Preston Crown Court on Thursday, a decision which took the jury less than two hours to reach. Fare, of Victory Close, Nelson, was deemed unfit to stand trial due to his medical disabilities, being that he is suffering from dementia and at the time of his arrest, in June 2020, was also experiencing paranoia and psychosis. Therefore, the trial has been a trial of facts , where the jury is still able to rule but only by relying on the facts of the case presented to them over the course of proceedings.
