A mental patient who got a "thrill and feeling of power" from killing and eating his victims was free to carry out his crime thanks to a "manifest failure" in his treatment, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
Peter Bryan, a paranoid schizophrenic and self-confessed cannibal, was jailed for life for killing two people while under the supervision of mental health services following an earlier fatal attack.
Peter Bryan: killed hours after he was deemed safe
The court heard he fooled his doctors by masking his illness under a "veneer of near normality" and that he killed his second victim hours after his social worker and a panel of experts deemed him safe.
When police caught up with him, he was cooking the dead man's brain in a frying pan.
