Mother wins right to find out why son’s killer was discharged from hospital

Teresa Maher’s son, Kyle, was killed by Richard Wilson-Michael in supported accommodation in London in 2017

A woman has won the right to hear the reasons her son’s killer was released into the community after a mental health tribunal had previously refused to do so.

In a boost to open justice, a high court judge ruled that the tribunal unlawfully rejected requests for information from Teresa Maher, who feared that her son’s killer still posed a risk.
