Daniel Appleton, 38, was in the grip of a psychotic episode brought on by his use of a form of synthetic LSD, known as an NPS, when he snatched a metal walking stick from passerby 76-year-old Sandra Seagrave.
An eye witness said he looked like the Incredible Hulk as he clubbed her to death with it before using the same stick to beat his wife Amy to death on the driveway of their home in Hazel Way, Crawley Down, just before Christmas 2019.
