MONCTON, N.B. — A psychiatrist says a New Brunswick man charged with a grisly double murder is fit to stand trial.
Dr. Louis Theriault says Gregory Allen Despres, 24, has been taking his medication and is "in full contact with reality."
Despres is accused of killing his elderly neighbours, Fred Fulton and Verna Decarie in their Minto home in 2005.
A judge ruled in late April that Despres, who went on a 10 minute disjointed rant while in the courtroom, was not fit to stand trial.
Theriault told today's hearing of the province's mental health review board that Despres has not suffered delusions for three months.
The hearing is scheduled to last three days.

The chance of the destruction of our planet is very very small with this collider, but who are these people to decide what risks are acceptable for all of mankind? It puts me at unease and adds to my anxiety. CERN acknowledges that there are miniscule risks -- they admit to it so please spare the convoluted retorts.
