"Did 'Ozempic-induced aggression' potentially contribute to a granny's alleged stabbing of a 10-year-old boy in the neck? A medical professional discusses the drug's potential harmful psychological impact."

In a shocking turn of events in the quiet suburb of Horsley, south of Sydney, a 60-year-old woman named Julie Ann Williams stands accused of a heinous crime. Williams is alleged to have stabbed her son's partner, Kellie Parkes, and a 10-year-old boy in a roadside attack.

The alleged attack occurred on West Dapto Road at Wongawilli, a mere three-minute drive from the shared residence in Horsley where Williams, her son, and Parkes lived. Neighbours reported hearing frequent arguments between Williams and her son, but less so between Williams and Parkes.

One neighbour stated that Parkes "is pretty much here all the time," while another reported that they did not have much interaction with Williams and that she was not noticeable. Detective Chief Inspector Brad Ainsworth thanked the public for their assistance in helping Parkes and the boy during the aftermath of the attack.

Ms. Parkes and the 10-year-old boy suffered serious wounds, while the three-year-old boy who was also in Ms. Parkes's car during the incident escaped the incident unharmed. Williams has been in custody since her arrest on June 11 and has been charged with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Ozempic, a weight loss drug, was reportedly being used by Williams at the time of the stabbings. A specialist in medical side effects of weight loss drugs has been appointed to clarify the possible connection between the intake of Ozempic and the alleged actions of Williams.

The court heard that a forensic psychiatrist had assessed Williams and determined her mental health problems could have made her more vulnerable to the side effects of the medication. The psychiatrist suggested that the medication may have had a toxic effect on Williams' metabolism and made her susceptible to violent behaviour. However, the psychiatrist did not refer to any studies linking Ozempic to violence during the assessment.

Williams' lawyer, Laura Fennell, stated that Williams had been suffering from a major depressive disorder for 25 years and that her condition was exacerbated by family matters. Williams will return to court on October 22. If Williams is granted bail, a future interim apprehended violence order will stipulate that she cannot go within 500m of the family home.

The investigation into this tragic incident continues, and the community awaits the outcome of the court proceedings with a heavy heart.
