WILKINS, J.
The defendant appeals from his conviction of murder in the first degree, based on the jury's finding of extreme atrocity and cruelty. He argues that the trial judge erred in denying his motion, made during trial, that he be permitted to undergo a psychiatric examination, at the expense of the Commonwealth, to determine whether the confession he made was voluntary. There was no error, and we see no basis for relief under G.L.c. 278, § 33E.
