Horrible. Half past eight on a Sunday morning...

They seem to have arrested the suspect, thankfully.

A place where people go for help from caring people yet a worker gets stabbed and someone is arrested for attempted murder

Shame the OB couldn't have chucked the perp off the end off the pier tied to an anchor

Update on this situation, the perp has been found not guilty of the stabbing of a hospital worker as the SAS told him to do it! You couldn’t make it up!

Maybe they can send him down and tell him the SAS want him to watch 4 walls 24 hours a day for 25 years ?

Always good to make a joke of mental illness.

Well, he’s been sectioned under the mental health act, so it’s not like he’s been let off. If he’s insane then normal prison wouldn’t do much good.

It definitely sounds like he’s mad rather than evil. He should’ve been sectioned before stabbing someone, but it doesn’t sound like he’s in control of his own actions.

Sorry, I was annoyed [emoji19]

That **** used to live in the flat above me. Walter Mitty character that lived in his own head. Used to pace around upstairs all night every night, all lights in his flat blazing. All this bollocks about the devil and the SAS. Funny how the original articles at the time said he stabbed the poor victim because he didn't have the key to the drugs cabinet. Hope they throw away the key to the ****'s padded cell

I have it from a good source that his family were trying to get him sectioned BEFORE the stabbing.

Perhaps all of those making throw away remarks about mental health want to consider what might have been if we had MH services in this country that are fit for purpose.

Btw, it sounds like you’ve had some right back to fronts living in your building [emoji29]

For sure. Exact same flat upstairs as well

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

At a tangent ....... is it called the Royal Sussex now? I’ve always known it as the County, or if confirmation needed the Sussex County.

In fact it's in the Argus:

His father Francis Mellon wanted his son to get urgent mental health treatment but was told there were no beds for him.

Shame it takes half an hour to get through the spammy ads and surveys on that site to read the article. Still, it 100% backs up what I was told two weeks ago.

The whole saga is sad on many levels without adding to this with crass jokes.

 

[Durlston]

Finding anywhere in the Royal Sussex is impossible. When I went for a wee it took me nearly half an hour to get back to my bed! The staff have always been very friendly though.

The guy was perfectly compos mentis enough the year before to up sticks and move to the US to further his 'career' as a mover and/or shaker in the music business. The subsequent attempts to sway the narrative in his favour are quite vile IMHO. There's only one victim in all of this

Had he been successfully sectioned as requested by his family before the incident, there would have been no victim. That's my point. A year ago counts for nothing - MH issues are well known to come and go. Doubt he was locked down in your example for a start.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one then
