                 Views of family
                 I telephoned Ms Cordell on the 7th November
                 2018. Ms Cordell told me that neighbours have
                 been "terrorising” his son since 2014 in
                 particular a neighbour on the 2nd floor. Ms
                 Cordell told me that whilst her son is in hospital
                 her nephew has been staying in the flat to look
                 after the dog. The nephew has reported that the
                 occupier on the 2nd floor have been "banging”
                 on the floor. She said that the neighbour then
                 realised that her son is not in the flat when they
                 saw the nephew coming out of Mr Cordell’s flat.
                 She told me that since the 26th October the
                 "banging” has stopped. She said that she has
                 complained about the neighbour herself but
                 thinks these situations are misinterpreted by the
                 council and the mental health services and her
                 son is then seen as the perpetrator and or being
                 mentally unwell. Ms Cordell stated that the
                 sound proofing is lacking and the noise is real.
                 Other neighbours have made allegations that Mr
                 Cordell has been aggressive towards them. She
                 said that there is no evidence of this; police have
                 seen CCTV and found that her son had not left
                 the flat at the time when these incidents were
                 alleged to have happen. Ms Cordell gave another
                 example in 2016 where it was alleged by a
                 neighbour that her son had made threats to kill
                 him. She said that the police initially charged her
                 son with making threats to kill; after seeing
                 video evidence they charged him with a ‘Public
                 Order Offence’. She said that around the time of
                 this alleged incident her son was in his flat with
                 some friends. Her son was not allowed to his flat
                 and was bailed to her flat where he stayed until
                 December 2016. She said that the CPS after
                 seeing evidence dismissed the case a day before
                 the trial. She said that the council has never
