Pyschiatric outpatient ate brain of his victim
Friday, 4 September 2009
enlargeA schizophrenic killer tricked health staff into thinking he was not a risk to the public before he murdered a man and ate his brain, a report has said.
Peter Bryan, now 39, killed Brian Cherry (43) and ate parts of his body after being allowed to live in the community as an outpatient despite having previous convictions for murder.
Bryan, who was found at Mr Cherry's flat semi-naked and covered in blood, told police officers: “I ate his brains with butter. It was really nice.”
Then, just weeks after being placed in London's high security hospital Broadmoor, Bryan killed again, throttling fellow patient Richard Loudwell, 59, with a flex and smashing his head on the ground.
Loudwell had told staff he was being bullied by Bryan but his pleas for help were |“ignored”.
Yesterday two damning independent reports were released. The first into Bryan's care while living as an outpatient and a second focusing on his care inside Broadmoor — both revealed a long list of failings by psychiatric and social services.
East London NHS Foundation Trust and West London Mental Health NHS Trust both apologised but revealed nobody had been disciplined as a result.

I know one doesn't judge a book by its cover, but hey, one look at this guy and you wouldn't see me for dust! His psychosis is written all over his face.

Open letter to East London NHS Foundation
Dear CEO,
After having read the article in the BT today I quote : "revealed nobody had been disciplined as a result" - interesting. Assuming the "long list of failings by psychiatric and social services" included human errors how is it possible that nobody was disciplined? Assuming those people involved are not derranged we can only conclude that the errors were in fact not human in origin. That is, the errors were computer based and procedural. A good Systems Analyst would resolve these problems, probably quite quickly. May I suggest East London NHS Foundation employ or contract a Systems Analyst to do this asap? You will then find less of your patients dying as a result of being murdered by other patients. I hope this is of help to you and your other retard staff. Regards, from Andrew(Systems Analyst).
