Report identifies failings in release from prison of Zephaniah McLeod, who killed one in knife attacks in 2020
A man who stabbed eight people in a series of unprovoked attacks was released from prison months earlier with no restrictions or supervision despite experiencing delusions, refusing to take medication and having made weapons in his cell, a report has found.
Zephaniah McLeod, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, stabbed eight people during a late-night rampage in Birmingham city centre in September 2020, killing 23-year-old Jacob Billington who was walking back from a night out.
