A man whose son shot his neighbour dead then fatally crashed his motorbike says mental-health services failed him.

A man whose son shot his neighbour dead then fatally crashed his motorbike says the NHS failed to act on warnings he had severe paranoid schizophrenia.

"He would just go and stand out there ranting and raving about people who had tortured him," he said."Never ever in my wildest dreams would I imagine he was going to do something like he has done, ever.John also said his son had been let down by the lack of community care after he had been released from his most recent in-patient stint, last December.

A Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust spokesman said in response to the Sartain family's complaints:"We were shocked and saddened to learn about this tragic incident."What happened is currently the subject of investigations by the police, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and will be heard by a coroner at an inquest in due course."And we are reviewing our own contact with Mr Sartain and his family."The government has pledged an extra £2.
