Four opportunities were missed by the authorities to better understand the risk posed by a violent and mentally ill man before he was released from prison and went on to carry out a fatal knife attack, a report has found
.
It details how prior to that McLeod had told a number of professionals over several years that he could hear voices.In 2018, he told a psychiatrist that he was"hearing voices, both male and female telling him to"kill 'em… stab 'em… they are talking about you".Following his release from prison in April 2020, there was no record of where he had gone and by July he was deemed to be"lost to services".
The report outlines contact McLeod had with the authorities - from the time he was first known to the police and criminal justice system in 2007, when he received a caution at the age of 14. It also recommended that the West Midlands MAPPA Strategic Management Board reconsider its decision not to complete a serious case review, which the report's authors said would be an opportunity to look in more detail at the issues it had raised.
"This report, in my opinion, has some very weak recommendations that fail to get to the heart of what went wrong here - different organisations not seeking or sharing information as they are required to do, and procedures and working practices not being followed.'He was stabbed and there's blood everywhere'
