Sussex NHS mental health trust criticised over killings by patients

Sussex NHS mental health trust criticised over killings by patients A mental health trust underestimated the risk posed by its patients and sometimes did not act on threats to kill, a review of 10 killings over eight years has found.

The review examined deaths linked to Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust patients between 2007 and 2015.

It found killings by Kayden Smith in 2012 and Roger Goswell in 2007 had been "preventable" and "predictable".

The trust has apologised and offered its condolences to families. BBC News
