Hello I'm Sally Taylor. so it's goodbye from me,

Tonight in South Today - two tragic stories which at their

heart have mental health trtsts failing

Southern Health is accused of failing a mother

who killed herself after thd death of her son who had

Upset and angry. Because it makes you got over it 100 times again and

again, thinking what could H have done differently?

And in Sussex, Susan Goswell's death was predictable, says a report.

Her husband killed her after making threats for ye`rs.

If they predicted it, they could have prevented it. I think ly

mother's life, there was no question that was the case. We go back on a

journey through 150 million years in a new museum dedicated to one man's

passion for marine fossils. I'm sharing it with everyone in the nice

thing is they don't live so I'm hopefully safeguarding it for the

future as well. "She couldn't continue

in the inquest of Karin Cheshire, a Southampton mother who colmitted

suicide nearly a year to the day after her only son

also took his own life. Jay Cheshire was 17

when he was investigated An allegation that

of losing a child was something A mother of two, who'd grown

to become the closest She was the best mum,

so loving, the three of us In July this year, at the Cheshire's

family home in Bitterne, The inquest heard today how Karin

had suffered a "mental breakdown" following the death of her son

and had been in and out of psychiatric units run

by the Southern Health Trust on five occasions over

a period of six months. The Trust was criticised

by the coroner for failing to pick up suicidal tendencies just three

days before hanging herself. It was the second tragic ch`pter

in the saddest of stories. Almost a year before

Karin took her own life, her son Jay had committed sticide

here in Riverside Park. At the age of just 17, Jay,

who had a history of depression had been the subject of a police

investigation into an allegdd rape. An investigation that was dropped

due to a lack of evidence, and after police say the alleged

victim decided against Jay's own inquest heard it had

a "profound effect on his My mum and my brother used the same

probe. My mum after receiving that back from the police, actually used

the same rope. That is something that is good to stick with le for

the rest of my life. I have very little family, and I'm just so

angry. It is the law that alleged victims

of sexual assault should maintain anonymity -

whether the investigation ends up in court or not, unless thex choose

to waive their right. My brother is gone and my mtm is

gone, that is to lives lost, because of a certain situation.

Jay, who was described in court as a "sensitive young man" had left

personal notes and had also written his own

Today the coroner said that Karin was a "special person"

It wasn't that she loves me any more or less, I know that, it was that

she couldn't live with what had happened to my brother, she couldn't

live without one of her children. The Southern Health Trust apologised

to her remaining family for their failure to recognhse

murdered his mother. Roger Goswell, who had

mental health problems, stabbed his wife Susan at their home

in West Chiltington in 2007 A review into TEN killings hnvolving

patients in the care of the Sussex Partnership NHS

Foundation Trust revealed that Joe Goswell says he's stunndd

by the report's findings which also found that

risks posed by patients werd not Information from family and carers

was not used effectively. And some of the Trust's staff

did not understand the extent of their powers under

the Mental Health Act. We'll be exploring the issuds it

raises in just a moment. Nine years ago, Roger Goswell used

a kitchen knife and a mallet to kill his wife Susan at their home

in West Chiltington - He'd been receiving mental health

treatment for a number of ydars - but hadn't been sectioned,

despite his wife telling If they predicted it, then they

could have prevented it. I think my mother 's love, no question that was

the case, could have saved ht they have a duty of care, and as a duty

of care, they should have m`de sure they prevented my mother 's death.

Today's report examined the Goswell case -

and nine others involving p`tients under the care of Sussex Partnership

The trust launched the revidw after Matthew Daley killed

Donald Lock on the A24 in Findon last year.

The 79-year-old great-grandfather, was stabbed 39 times by Daldy

My message to the families hs one, Kim, of apology and condolence but

events. -- in relation. The trust has promised families -

like the Goswells - that in the future

they will be listened to and more involved in the care

of their relatives. Marjorie Wallace is from

the Mental Health charity S@NE First of all, the Sussex mental

health trust, they have apologised, put their hands up to it, they have

said lessons will be learned but is that enough? No it isn't. This is an

indictment of the failure to protect the lives of both patients, the

families and the public. We have heard some of the failings,

including not enough adequate risk assessments, poor staff trahning,

they seem to be fundamental. How soon should we be and how concerned

are you? Very concerned. We have listened to these enquiries and gone

to over 100 of them, and thd same failings are reported. It doesn t

take huge resources to listdn to the families can stop if they lhsten to

the father of Matthew Daly, for ten years he had been telling them that

his son suffered from schizophrenia, hearing voices, and that he can be

violent. And they refused to take it warning seriously. It's the same

time and again. When we did an enquiry at SANE, we did a whole

analysis, etc one in two of the patient homicide cases had been

identified as a failure to listen to families and people close to that

patient. Patients need confhdence in mental health trusts, the ptblic

need confidence as well. Is there just too much reliance on c`re in

the community, in other words potential dangerous patients are

allowed out? I think the problem is that with the community card policy,

people, however disturbed, `re living in the community, but instead

of being under strict supervision, they are under community te`ms and

there been a lot of criticism of these teams, they have been cuts

made, they are overstretched, they often don't turn up. There hs not

one consistent person, which everybody wants and needs, who knows

the history, and again and `gain they failed to include the families.

Great to talk to you, thank you for speaking to us.

Drivers on Southern Railways will be balloted for strike action

after the ASLEF Union said talks with the operator had failed.

ASLEF is opposing plans for for drivers,

It comes as commuters faced more disruption today, on the first

The RMT union is considering to strike over the role of conductors

have a derelict building in Farnham, we want to regenerate its and we

want people to come here and enjoy it, and Brightwells is the way

forward. Opponents say they are the stamping block. The only thhng that

is standing in the way is that our council, Waverley, cannot obtain

commercial funding and 14 ydars it has failed to do so. One of the

reasons it has failed to do so is that shopping is changing, `nd there

Bournemouth and Poole's Dightal economy has been run over stccess
