During Mr Allen’s recorded questioning, one trooper reportedly tells him: “You’re guilty and I know it and I’m gonna f***ing prove it.” In the defence’s filing over his prison confession, lawyers claim that Mr Allen became “delusional, paranoid and highly dysfunctional” following confinement with behaviours including “stripping off his clothes, drinking toilet water, covering himself with and eating his own faeces”. Mr Allen’s attorneys have previously said that details from the crime scene pointed to a possible Odinist cult killing with symbols painted in the blood of one of the victims allegedly discovered, according to court filings obtained by The Independent last year.
