Many thanks to Frogsmile for those fascinating photos.
I've just found an account of JWJ Snell's 1924 trial and sentencing from an Australian newspaper, the Adelaide Chronicle, 1 November 1924. It is headed "Fine Career Wrecked. Ex-Detective With Six War Medals".
It is well worth reading as it is much more informative than the British accounts of the trial.
You can view it for free online via the Australian newspaper archive database https://trove.nla.gov.au , using the search terms "John William Josiah Snell".
Everything in this account supports the idea that JWJ Snell was psychologically damaged by his war experience. 
"Up to the time of the war, the chief constable went on, the prisoner was an excellent fellow, but since then he had given a good deal of trouble."

Yes by modern standards it seems that there would have been a good case for some kind of mental breakdown diagnosis.
