An Adelaide man involved in a serious road crash that claimed two lives, including that of a senior police officer, has agreed to an alcohol ban as part of his ongoing supervision.
Detective Chief Superintendent Joanne Shanahan, 55, and Tania McNeill, 53, were killed in a three-car collision in April last year when Harrison Kitt drove through a red light in Adelaide at high speed.
He pleaded not guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of causing harm and was later found to be mentally incompetent at the time of the crash, with prosecutors conceding he was suffering a psychotic episode.
He will not serve jail time but will be subject to mental health supervision with the District Court to set a limiting term.
On Thursday, counsel for Kitt told the court that he would now agree to refrain from alcohol for three years after initially asking to be able to drink socially during his rehabilitation period.
The court was told Kitt had reflected on the victim impact statements delivered by the families of those killed and would now consent to the ban.
Kitt will return to court in January.
