    The family of Robert McNeill, who was killed during an attack by another patient at Great Oaks Hospital in Scunthorpe, have released a statement.

    Jamie Reed, 26, had admitted manslaughter on diminished responsibility, but was found not guilty of murder.

    In a statement Robert McNeill's family said they were pleased that Reed would remain detained in either prison or hospital.

    Quote Message

    The person Rob was has not been mentioned very much during this trial. Although he didn’t have an easy life, Rob was a very generous, caring, and kind-hearted man. He was deeply loved and we miss him every single day. Rob was vulnerable, slight of build, and unable to protect himself against a larger, younger and stronger attacker.
