and outside the property. Told us that he likes to record himself in the flat as well in order to
document 'like a journal what he is up to, and also appeared to refer to this several times as
evidence of his innocence.
Events around coming into hospital/progress.
7. Asked about threats to harm neighbour and her children, Simon denied this "I’ve been
in children’s homes my whole life, I would never harm a child" "I 100% did not make a
threat".
8. Simon described a difficult situation with a previous neighbour "I had an altercation
with another neighbour called Deborah Andrews who had a problem with alcohol". "Council
moved her out of the property". She was trying to cause me problems, banging around the
house and knocking on the door asking for money".
9. On day of recent MHA, Simon was at home, a friend had visited him with new baby,
friend left. Police arrived at the property, which Simon saw with his cameras. Police were
responding to a call they had received about him making a threat against his neighbours,
Simon disputes this allegation.
10. Q: Why would the neighbours say that? Simon feels this is because he had been
playing music.
11. Simon spoke at length about the treatment he subsequently received in the police
station. Simon feels strongly that the assessment was not adequate and not legal.
12. Dr Cranitch explained our assessment of his progress, that he had taken antianxiety
drugs for the past few days. Dr Cranitch explained that she felt that Simon was not mentally
well currently and that the treatment she advises is an antipsychotic medication called
olanzapine.
13. Simon feels that he is able to think clearly, denied any his thoughts were being
interfered with in any way. Listens to radio and tv, denied that he feels radio and tv are
talking about him. Pressure of speech evident, overinclusive and rambling manner of speech,
at times standing up to better express himself, difficult to interrupt, frequently referring to
injustices and things done illegally against him, some of his thought content was grandiose in
nature, spoke of having tens of thousands of Facebook friends and that his mum had gifted
him 20million emails (contacts) for his business, that his mum also owns several business,
mentioned a computer game company. It was unclear as to the veracity of these statements.
Tribunal:
Dr Cranitch explained the tribunal process and that the tribunal may decide to end the
detention under Section 2. If section 2 stopped, Simon told us that he would consider staying
in hospital for a bit longer. "Whatever it takes to get out of hospital so I can go out and look
after other people". If Section 2 upheld we explained that we would want Simon to remain in
hospital for a while longer and take medication to treat his mental illness. Reassured Simon
that we want to help him get better.
