New York Post diligently reports the suspect's mother revealed his alleged medical records, violating his privacy rights. Is she a reliable source for psychiatric diagnosis? But more importantly what is the connection between a psychiatric diagnosis and an alleged homicide? Is it more likely that his act was caused by a fundamental belief that adultery is prohibited by some religions?

[From article]
The accused killer’s mom, Nafeeza Khan, couldn’t believe her son could have done this, saying: “He love her so much.”
Speaking at the couple’s home in Jamaica, Queens, Nafeeza said Nazir caught his wife cheating.
“My son catch her, she and the other guy,” she told The Post. “He see everything.”
Nazir works as a fuel supervisor for an airline based at LaGuardia Airport, a source said.
He suffers from a bi-polar disorder and was treated at New York Presbyterian Hospital for that condition in October, his mom said.
