Tube pusher given indefinite hospital order after attacks

During the trialm Kenlyn, from Ealing, accepted he was the attacker but denied the charges because he said he had had “active” schizophrenia that caused him to believe he was under threat.

He was found not guilty by reason of insanity of causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Cambeiro, of assault occasioning actual bodily harm to Mr Acton and of assault by beating against Mr Jawad.

He was also cleared of the more serious offences of attempted murder against Mr Cambeiro and of causing him grievous bodily harm with intent.

The jury’s decision did not mean Kenlyn was acquitted and left open the possibility he would receive a hospital order.

Sentencing him, Judge Katz said: “On all the evidence, I am sure that when your schizophrenia is active, you present a very high danger to the public.

“You could easily have killed Mr Cambeiro and, to a sane person, the risk of killing him would have been obvious.”
