2000,
Geraldine Sureda invited her son for a weekend stay at her
home in Mitcham, Surrey, to give him a break from the
routines at Springfield Mental hospital.
The paranoid
schizophrenic believed his mum was part of a plot to kill
him, a plan hatched by the Labour party.
22nd December
2007
Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe
was attacked
again, fellow inmate
Sureda
lunged at him with a metal cutlery knife while shouting
"You fucking raping, murdering bastard, I'll blind your
fucking other one." Sutcliffe flung himself backwards and
the blade missed his right eye by half a inch, instead
stabbing him in the cheek.
9th April
2009, At The Old Bailey in London, Sureda was finally
sentenced for murdering his mother. He was ordered to spend
the rest of his life in a mental institution.
20th November
2009, Sureda charged with stabbing Sutcliffe, but, the
judge ruled he was not fit to submit a plea. The jury at
Reading Crown Court found Sureda guilty of wounding
Sutcliffe with intent.
Judge Zoe Smith
ruled that Sureda should continue to be detained under the
Mental Health Act as he is a danger to the public.
She said: "Mr Sureda poses a grave and immediate risk to the
safety of others."
