The Jerusalem District Court on Thursday remanded Nachman Inshin, who is suspected ofkilling his eight-month-old daughter Fruma, for an additional eight days.
The police presented the court with Inshin's psychiatric evaluation, which deemed him fit to stand trial.
Inshin addressed the court at the beginning of the hearing: "This is s staged trial. This is fixed. You're fabricating this story and I won't have it, you're conspiring against me."
He further complained that he was prevented from seeing his attorney, but did express remorse for his actions.
Attorney Yaakov Kaminsky, for Inshin, told Ynet that his client "was obviously insane… he was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in the past and he is medicated." Inshin, he added, belongs in a mental institution and not prison.
