JOHN CHURCHILL, the patient who wanted 24-hour care

At the end of March 2006 John Churchill was discharged from the Abraham Cowley Psychiatric Unit in Chertsey Surrey. Within 48 hours he had killed John McKenna. Two days later he went to the police and and confessed. He has been in custody since then, currently under Section 48 of the 1983 Mental Health Act and in a Cambridge Hospital. As someone said: "He wanted 24-hour care and now he's got it". The trial will start on 19 March 2007.

No trial for John Churchill.

At the hearing Monday, 19 March, at the Old Bailey - after he had been in custody for nearly a year - John was sent back to the secure hospital where he had been since October where he will be detained indefinitely under Sections 37 and 41 of the 1983 Mental Health Act.

How much has been spent so far on this case and how much will it cost to keep John in the secure hospital?
