Where is Austin Harrouff now?
The now 25-year-old former-frat boy is still awaiting trial as his lawyers have claimed he is mentally ill and the FBI found no evidence of illicit drugs in his system, other than THC.
After being removed from the body, Harrouff was taken to hospital for two months, suffering from a burned oesophagus.
The injury could have been from ingesting chemicals in the couple's garage as state-appointed psychologist that Harrouff "remembers drinking a bottle of liquid"
A full report detailing the days before the attack was released and says that Harrouff felt "as if God was talking to him" and "dog spirits were part of him".
Dr Landrum's findings said: "He recalls having a machete in his hand and stabbing her 'and it was like she was covered in darkness'.
"He also remembers seeing a man and 'he was like glowing white'."
The report concluded: "the manifestation of Mr Harrouff's psychiatric illness resulted in a psychotic episode so acute that two innocent people were killed."
Two other mental health experts have been consulted since, with neuropsychologist Michael Gamache contradicting the other findings.
State witness Gamache did not believe that Harrouff met the legal standard of insanity during the crime.
