The 28 year old Bulgarian, Deyan Deyanov, who is accused of beheading the 60 year old English woman, Jennifer Mills-Westley in Tenerife on the 13th of this month, has been revealed to have been admitted in the past to a psychiatric facility in Britain.
He was admitted to Glan Clwyd Hospital in Wales last summer for his own safety under the UK Mental Health Laws. What is not clear is whether he was discharged or escaped from the facility, and an investigation has now been announced to clarify the circumstances.
A spokesman for the hospital said that they had had no contact with the patient since last October.
Meanwhile The Sun reports that two of his ex girlfriends have spoken of his violent tendencies and drug addiction. One of them named by the paper as Rachael Sharpe, said he tried to strangle her when she refused to call him the messiah.
‘On one occasion he told me that he wanted to kill someone to see what he felt, that he wanted to stab someone’.
The murder of the British pensioner has led M.P. Steve McCabe to ask for a revision of the protocols which allow someone with mental problems to leave a psychiatric institution.
‘There needs to be an urgent investigation into how someone in a psychiatric hospital can leave the centre, travel and commit a crime like this’, said McCabe.
