FACTFILE
1998, Gonzalez was
diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
September 2004,
Gonzalez went on a three-day rampage, and randomly
killed two men and two women and attacked two others.
His victims were Derek
and Jean Robinson, 76 and 68, of Highgate, London; Kevin
Molloy, 46, who was attacked in Tottenham, London; and
Marie Harding, 73, who was murdered near Worthing,
Sussex.
Two men who survived attacks by Gonzalez were Peter
King, 61, who was knifed in Portsmouth, Hampshire; and
Koumis Constantinou, 59, who was attacked in north
London.
Friday
17th March 2006, Gonzalez's trial heard
that he had wondered what it would be like to be Freddy
Krueger, from the Nightmare on Elm Street horror films,
for a day.
Gonzalez claimed that he
was not guilty by reason of insanity, this was rejected.
The jury
rejected the claim and found him guilty of murder.
He was given six life
sentences and the trial judge recommended that he should
never be released. It was revealed that he was a
habitual drug user who had run naked down a street while
drunk a week before he was arrested.
9th August 2007,
Nurses found Gonzalezin a pool of blood in his room at
the Broadmoor hospital, after he had been moved to a
lower risk ward.
He had a deep cut in his arm and a makeshift blade was
found near his body. Doctors could not revive him. Blood
was all over the walls and bed.
March 2009 an
independent inquiry into his health care found that he
was "not treated successfully".
21st April 2009,
At the inquest a\t the Guildhall, Psychiatrist Tim
McInerny told the inquest the crimes and the sentence
Gonzalez received, caused him great anxiety.
The inquest jury heard
that Gonzalez, who had a history of self-harm, was
treated in the hospital's high dependency unit for two
years. He was moved to a series of lower risk wards when
improvements were seen in his condition.
Gonzalez was transferred to a young people's unit called
the Windsor Ward in July 2007, 17 days before his death,
where he was observed every 30 minutes.
Dr McInerny said he appeared happy and seemed to have
settled.
