Defence solicitor Murray Aikten and Sheriff Craig Caldwell agreed there were certain “unusual features” to this “very unusual” case.

Sheriff Caldwell said he was “very concerned” about the nature of this offence and deferred sentence for four weeks until April 25 so psychological and psychiatric reports could be carried out to discover the underlying causes of Buchanan’s behaviour.
