Psychiatrist: Former Utah man accused of killing 6 controlled by voices

Houston • A forensic psychiatrist told jurors Monday that a man accused of fatally shooting six members of his ex-wife’s family in 2014 at their suburban Houston home wasn’t responsible for his actions because his severe mental illness that made him believe voices in his head were telling him to carry out the killings.

Prosecutors allege Ronald Lee Haskell, 39, created a meticulous plot in which he traveled from California to suburban Houston in 2014 and stalked his ex-wife's family for two days before killing six of them, including four children. One family member, a then 15-year-old girl, was also shot but survived by playing dead.
