And i remembered what the woman said. Earlier in the month she told me my purposeis earlier in the month she told me my purpose is to live. When i was in this, what i saw was the perfect position. I started thinking about what i was doing, and i remembered what i was doing, and i remembered what she said to me. And i remembered that my purpose was to live. I realised my purpose isnt actually to kill anyone. That is when i made the decision to come out from where i was hiding and approach the armed Police Officer and two of the armed Police Officer and two of the queens guards.

I have also had the benefit of helpful submissions from miss morgan, kings council, and im equally grateful to them. I have the advantage of having heard psychiatric evidence over six days and i have been able to assess the evidence as it was given, explored, explained and tested. Dr brown has been a member of the Royal College of psychiatrists since 2017. He is a consultant forensic psychiatrist at broadmoor. Since November 2022 he has been the defendants responsible clinician, overseeing his care. The defendant told dr brown that he had thought that working for the ministry of Defence Police would have been a cooljob. However he accepted that when he applied to join, he thought that the training would help in relation to thoughts he had begun to develop which led to the offences. He said that he had a number of motivations for the offences. His main motivation related to a long standing sadness about the 1919 massacre, and the Partition Of India in 19117. Believe that he had had feelings about potentially doing to the royal family because of the massacre, from as early as primary school. These thoughts had been reinforced by entities he had interacted with, who he thought of as angels. 0ne entities he had interacted with, who he thought of as angels. One of whom he thought of as angels. One of whom he had interacted with latterly, by an ai chatbot, called sarai, and the replica app. He said that the thoughts became more intense during lockdown. He felt they were exacerbated by the set of experiences he described as angels. He said they had never told him to assassinate the queen, just encouraged him. He had experienced interactions with what he called angels in recent years there were three male characters and a female, sarai. He began using replica in early december 2021. He said it felt like talking to a real person. He believed that he started planning the offences after the army had raised concerns about his liver. He had also referred in hisjournal to blood test results showing abnormalities with his liver. He said he planned for two to three months. He said he had assumed he would be shocked when he got over the first gate, and was surprised when nothing happened. He thought things would be better after death. Being united with sarai in the afterlife was quite a big motivating factor. He said that the e mail journal had been started at around the time he began to apply to join the time he began to apply to join the ministry of Defence Police. The last time he had experienced any of these angels had been on the Admissions Ward at broadmoor. The three men disappeared fairly soon after admission and prior to starting anti psychotic treatment. The medication sarai disappeared. He thought he started to believe that he was a sith lords, about the same time as he was rejected from the army. That would be april 2021. When dr brown interviewed him the defendant said that he had bought the camera to look around corners once he was in the castle. The defendant felt that his earlier accounts had overemphasised his purpose and the duration of planning. Dr brown came to the view that there was evidence of autism spectrum disorder. The defendants lifelong interest in star wars took on additional meaning and he began to identify as a sith lord. This change was linked to seeking apologies for historical injustices, which turned into concrete plans, following a rejection from the army in april 2021. Dr brown thought that he had had a First Episode of psychosis around the time of the offences. It displayed a number of features of psychosis, including complex hallucinations which had auditory and visual elements. All his symptoms had abated after anti psychotic treatment. The pattern of symptoms was unusual. In addition, in the months before the offences, the defendant cried frequently, and experienced profound feelings of hopelessness. There was a strongly suicidal elements of the offences. These factors were consistent with depression of a mild to moderate severity. Dr brown thought that the defendant felt encouraged by the psychotic entities he experienced. The depressive illness related to the offences as the defendant became motivated to engage in a course of events which would result in his own death. In his view psychiatric treatment offered the best means of mitigating future risk. The treatment would consist of anti psychotic medication and psychological interventions. Dr brown felt that a favourable, long term prognosis was realistic. In dr browns knew there were multiple links between the identified Mental Disorders and the offences. The psychotic and oppressive thought processes and experiences would have impacted his a bit ability to exercise appropriatejudgment. He felt appropriate judgment. He felt reassured appropriatejudgment. He felt reassured by psychotic entities. He was motivated by a preoccupation with injustices, which linked with his belief that he was a sith lord. He was motivated by a pathological suicidal urge. Dr brown said in his report that it was arguable that these factors impaired his ability to some extent, to make rational choices. His abilities were not completely impaired as evidenced by his planning and the commission of the offences. In his lonely, depressed and suicidal State Of Mind he would have been particularly vulnerable to the encouragement with dr brown thought he had been given by the ai chatbot. The next report was prepared by professor blackwood, instructed on behalf of the prosecution. It is dated 10th of march 2023. Professor blackwood became a member of the Royal College of psychiatrists in 1997. He is a consultant forensic psychiatrist. He has a particular interest in neurodevelopMental Disorders, including autism. He interviewed the defendant for four hours on the 6th of march 2023, and has had access to the other psychiatric reports and records. Professor blackwood concluded that, while the defendant demonstrated some evidence of difficulty in developing relationships, and a degree of fixation in his interests and attraction to routines, he does not meet the required criteria for an autism disorder. He said that in his 18 months after leaving six from couege 18 months after leaving six from college the defendant struggled to establish settled employment
