Just watched this on BBC news:

Severely paranoid schizophrenic allowed "ground leave" from high security mental hospital. Wanders away and makes his way to local park where he stabs a passer by to death.
According to this article:
"For three years he had been hearing voices telling him to kill himself. The day he walked out of Springfield Hospital, Tooting, last September the voices told him for the first time to kill somebody else and he bought kitchen knives to carry out his mission."
What a surprise, yet again the public are not protected against someone who is potentially dangerous!
You can't blame the mentally ill person. But someone is to blame for not keeping them securely restrained!! This is not the first time its happened either. When are they going to learn?
