A mentally ill man brutally killed a young girl as she played in the street, jurors have ruled
A nine-year-old girl was stabbed to death in broad daylight by a Lithuanian man who had entered the UK just three weeks earlier, jurors decided today.
Deividas Skebas, 23, was charged with Lilia's murder but could not stand trial due to being unfit because of his mental health. Police officer Stuart Clements, who examined hours of CCTV from the area of the killing, also described a distinctive walk which matched Skebas and a mark on his arm. “Although within less than a minute an off-duty police officer who was just going home and was nearby came to her aid, and was followed by other officers and the ambulance, sadly her life could not be saved and she was formally pronounced dead at 7.11pm that evening."“You are only deciding whether he did it. You don’t have to decide about his intention or indeed about his mental state.”
While the burden of proof for a jury remains beyond all reasonable doubt, a court can only sentence a defendant to a hospital order. After arriving in Boston, he was seen on CCTV buying a Sabatier paring knife from a Wilko shop in the town two days before the killing, and in the hours prior was seen walking around the town centre.
