mental health act, attempted murder charges, bladed article, suspect charged
Attempted murder?? Just wow.
Mental health hold but then tried to murder someone? Feels like they should’ve stopped him earlier… or like the system always waits till it’s too late. Also bladed article sounds like a knife, right?
Plant Hill Rd is where? Kinda wild that it was a co-op academy too like those places can be targeted. I don’t even get how attempted murder has “two of possessing a bladed article” like possession is the same as attempt lol. Somebody probably dropped the ball on the mental health part.
Is this even in London or Manchester? The article title says Manchester but the pic caption is London with that Arsenal guy, so I’m confused. Either way, if they’re holding someone under a mental health act you’d think there’d be tighter monitoring. Three counts of attempted murder sounds insane, but I’m also hearing “mental health hold” and people always use that like it’s an excuse, so idk.
