I mean, surely calling it a 'secure hospital' breaks some rule?
A vicious sex offender was let out of a secure hospital and went on a horrific four-day rampage of sexual violence against eight women, eventually raping a jogger at knifepoint. Louis Collins, 29, subjected his final victim to an hour-long ordeal after dragging her away from her running route just days after he walked out of Lambeth Hospital unescorted.After all, we already know the medical profession won't allow the culprits to face any consequences:
Collins left Lambeth Hospital in south London on August 18 after doctors agreed he could have an unescorted leave of absence, Patricia May, prosecuting, told his sentencing hearing.
Who gave them the authority to allow that absence?
Siobhan Molloy, defending, said Collins, who is originally from Croydon in south London, claimed that voices in his head had compelled him to carry out the attacks but a doctor had found he did not have a psychotic illness.
Although what faith can we put in any doctor's opinion on anything?
I don't suppose the names of those doctors were made known in the court case, or were called by the prosecution to state why thief have permission for this sexual offender to leave the hospital unescorted?
ReplyDeleteCivil claims against the hospital may follow, I understand. Perhaps those doctors, and the Chief Executive should be included in any civil action?
God bless the NHS. Negligence is never their fault.

Well said, Penseivat. I hope so, with knobs on.

ReplyDeleteProbably not in the media but almost certainly will have been in the court transcript.
"I hope so, with knobs on."
Me too. I really, really want to see consequences land hard.
