"A paranoid schizophrenic who stabbed his mum to death was released from a mental hospital for killing his dad because she made a plea on his behalf.
Leslie Gadsby, 42, was jailed for life with a minimum of 20 years behind bars for the manslaughter of his 70-year-old mum, Edna, in March 2010.
The fatal attack came less than three years after he was freed from the Scott Clinic in Rainhill for battering his dad, Arthur, to death with a claw hammer.
Liverpool Coroners’ Court heard that during that incident in 2004, the ex-cabbie also severely injured his mum – but she later urged the authorities to allow him to move back into the community."
