Legislation reviewer warns against treating mental health differently in terrorism investigations
Terrorism should be treated in the same way as ordinary crime when it comes to the any connection to mental health issues, a terrorism laws watchdog has said, as more information comes to light about the dead Liverpool bombing suspect.
It has become increasingly clear that Emad al-Swealmeen, who police believe blew himself up in a taxi outside Liverpool Women’s hospital on Remembrance Sunday, suffered from poor mental health, with detectives revealing on Friday they had gathered evidence from his brother on his “recent state of mind”.
