One of the female cabin crew came forward saying she had a commercial pilot’s licence and was asked to take over in the co-pilot’s seat.

Naaaa. That's cheating.

Was the co-pilot an ROP member?

Most modern transport aircraft with FMSes can be flown by one pilot. I don’t get the “emergency” once the co-pilot had been tied-down. Perhaps the hostess did the radio work.

‘rambling and disjointed conversation', ‘belligerent and unco-operative’, ‘effectively incapacitated’

If I had a dollar for each time one of those phrases showed up on my employee evaluation...

My employer used to think I suffered a series of mental breakdowns, until he realized I was just drunk.

a ‘rambling and disjointed’ conversation

Were the words "Allahu akbar" heard?

Sounds like a “but I stayed in Holiday Inn lastnight” landing.

“the co-pilot had an apparent mental breakdown...”

Was he saying Allahu Akbar over and over while pushing the steering wheel as far forward as it would go?
