An Emirati woman on trial for the murder of an American and attempting to kill another has said she is "possessed by evil spirits", according to local reports.
Alaa Bader al Hashemi is accused of stabbing to death teacher Ibolya Ryan, 47, in an Abu Dhabi shopping mall restroom.
The victim was a mother of two twins.
The suspect is also charged with attempting to murder an American doctor of Egyptian origin by planting a bomb outside his apartment.
The two attacks took place within hours of each other in the UAE capital on 1 December.
Hashemi asked a court to provide her with psychological help, saying she had "unreal visions" and would see "ghost-like people" due to a chronic mental illness she claims to suffer from, local daily The National reported.
Emirati authorities have denied international media access to the trial, which began on 23 March.
The suspect was tracked down using CCTV footage of her going in and out of the restroom where Ms Ryan's murder took place.
Police found blood on the steering wheel of Hashemi's car and bomb-making material inside.
Authorities say she embraced "jihadist ideology and then engaged in terrorist acts in support of terrorist organisations" such as al Qaeda and Islamic State.
She has also been charged with financing terrorist organisations in the United Arab Emirates, collecting explosive materials and creating an Internet account to promote terrorist ideas.
