He asked for psychiatric and pre-sentence reports to be prepared and the defendant was further remanded on bail by Judge Andrew Menary, QC, the Recorder of Liverpool, to await sentence on March 30.

The judge told bearded Lunt that he was adjourning sentence to enable the reports to be drawn up and added a condition to his bail that he co-operates with the preparation of those reports.

“The fact I am adjourning sentence for reports must not be taken as any indication. The court will consider all matters on the next occasion,” he said.
