Charmaine O'Donnell died after being pushed from Helensburgh Pier in April 2021 by Jacob Foster.
"I'm satisfied from the written evidence from the medical practitioners that he has a mental disorder.
"It may be a source of frustration but I have to do what's right... in regard to Mr Foster's medical condition." Foster, who had denied murder, was convicted of culpable homicide after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.His lawyers had lodged a special defence of diminished responsibility, saying he had an "abnormality of mind" at the time.The trial heard that Ms O'Donnell had gone to Helensburgh with a friend, Caitlin McTaggart, on 23 April last year to enjoy the good weather.
The pair began chatting to three men who were fishing. Ms McTaggart, 25, said it appeared Foster was trying to get involved in the conversation, although neither she nor Ms O'Donnell knew him. There was a "commotion" when Ms O'Donnell was pushed over the railings at the pier, and someone shouted to Ms McTaggart: "That's your pal.""He just kept saying: 'What have I done? I have taken it too far this time. I am going away for a long time'."
