Description

Mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer has changed his plea at a pre-trial hearing in Milwaukee, USA to guilty by reason of insanity. Dahmer had been planning to go to court with a not guilty plea later in the month. This change of plea means some gruesome details of the murders will be omitted from the court proceedings, much to the anger of some of the victim’s families, who speak at a press conference. Paul Woodley reports.
