SAINT-JEROME - The Crown is questioning a psychiatrist testifying at the trial of Guy Turcotte who admits he destroyed the notes of his 30 encounters with the accused.

Louis Morrissette testified today he destroyed them as he always does after completing psychiatric examinations.

Morrissette, a defence witness, told the jury today the essence of his findings is contained in his report.

Turcotte has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of his son, Olivier, and his daughter Anne-Sophie.

He has admitted to causing their deaths by stabbing them a combined 46 times.

But his lawyers are arguing he should be found not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.
