A woman who killed her partner with an air rifle will have her sentencing delayed until October 7 at Edinburgh High Court. The victim, Mr Kowbel, died after being shot and sustaining severe injuries at Borders General Hospital in Melrose. In March last year, Judge Susan Craig declared the woman unfit to stand trial due to a mental disorder, leading to Tuesday's brief hearing where Judge Morris requested a pre-sentencing report before proceeding with sentencing.

Story summary
A woman, deemed unfit to stand trial due to mental disorder, will be sentenced next month at Edinburgh High Court for killing her partner with an air rifle. The incident occurred when she shot Mr Kowbel, who later died at Borders General Hospital in Melrose after sustaining severe injuries. Judge Susan Craig previously found the woman, named as Ramage, unfit to stand trial last March and also discovered that she was holding an air rifle without a required firearm certificate. During Tuesday's brief hearing before Judge Morris, it was decided to defer sentencing until October 7, allowing time for a pre-sentencing report.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
