[2011] EWCA Crim 433

Offences of murder, arson with intent to endanger life and burglary were quashed where defence expert evidence was uncontradicted and showed that the offender's mental limitations combined with extreme drunkenness had prevented him from forming the specific intent necessary for proof of the offences.
