Man, 23, Detained Indefinitely for Fatal Attack

Sekai Miles, 23, has been detained indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital after a brutal and random attack on 87-year-old Bernard Fowler at Harold Wood station in East London. The attack, which occurred on February 27 last year, involved Miles gouging Mr. Fowler's eyes, hitting him 19 times with his own walking stick, and stamping on his head eight times. Miles, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was under the influence of the synthetic drug Spice at the time, pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility. The court heard that Miles stopped taking his medication after claiming to be 'saved by God.' Judge Judy Khan KC ordered Miles to be treated at Broadmoor secure psychiatric hospital, where he is expected to remain for several years. The attack on Mr. Fowler, who had gone to the station to collect free newspapers for his community, was described as shocking and appalling.
