Roid rage excuse used by murderer but this time it's the victim who was using steroids.

"The jury was told when Hardy, a body builder and heavy steroid user, began to throttle Doherty she picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the chest.

Doherty, of Lawn Villas, Calow, denies the murder of Hardy, a former Derbyshire police constable, in the early hours of December 6 last year, claiming she acted in self defence and could not remember grabbing the knife."
