:01:33. > :01:38.his bedroom, hanging from a cord that adjusted the blinds. He was 20
:01:38. > :01:44.months old. Nothing can describe it in words, it's the worst thing
:01:44. > :01:49.that's ever happened to me and my family and Danielle's family.
:01:49. > :01:54.Nothing will ever, ever come close. The British blind and shutter
:01:54. > :02:01.association has made a video promoting safety. Without an
:02:01. > :02:05.appropriate safety device fitted, operating cords represent a
:02:05. > :02:09.strangulation hazard to young children. The European guidelines
:02:09. > :02:15.say cords or chains should be out of children's reach or fitted with
:02:15. > :02:23.a safety device to allow them to break in if a child becomes
:02:23. > :02:28.entangled. But that is not mandatory. I wouldn't wish this on
:02:28. > :02:34.anybody. So it's very important that this doesn't happen to another
:02:34. > :02:38.small child and... Any parents and families don't feel the way we do.
:02:38. > :02:43.It's just devastating. The royal society for the prevention of
:02:43. > :02:46.accidents say on average they see two cases a year in Britain of
:02:46. > :02:52.children being strangled in accident involving blinds. They
:02:52. > :02:58.call blinds the hidden hazard of a home and want to see lops in chains
:02:58. > :03:02.and cords -- loops in chains a cords phased out. The coroner said
:03:02. > :03:07.he hoped the publicity would remind the parent of young children of the
:03:07. > :03:11.need to be village last night. Blinds, he said, would continue to
:03:11. > :03:16.present a danger, unless parents were aware of it. He also expressed
:03:16. > :03:21.his condolences to the family. A verdict of accidental death was
:03:21. > :03:27.recorded on Caden. His family provided these photographs with the
:03:27. > :03:30.request I use this one to end my report. Michael Corley from The
:03:30. > :03:32.Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents spoke to us earlier about
:03:33. > :03:40.health and safety issues surrounding window blinds. I asked
:03:40. > :03:44.him what the likelihood was that corded blinds could be banned.
:03:44. > :03:48.not sure how practical a measure that would be. I know at the moment
:03:48. > :03:53.we are working with the Government and the industry to introduce and
:03:53. > :03:58.to help introduce a new standard, either at the end of this year or
:03:58. > :04:02.next. We are talking about corded blinds, the ones with a loop that
:04:02. > :04:10.you pull. If another blind can do the job, why make these at all?
:04:10. > :04:14.Well in fact manufacturers are taking steps to sort of phase
:04:14. > :04:18.operating cord out and there are cordless blinds available. But
:04:18. > :04:22.they're not so widely available and they are more expensive. Safety
:04:22. > :04:25.video were made with regards to this particular blind. The warnings
:04:25. > :04:30.were there. Freak accidents of course do Saturdayly happen. How
:04:30. > :04:35.far can you go with warnings, or can you never go too far with them?
:04:35. > :04:40.I don't know about that. But parents can take steps if they want
:04:40. > :04:46.to ensure the safety of their child. One is they could remove any way of
:04:46. > :04:51.the child getting to the window frame, either a chest of drawers or
:04:52. > :04:57.a chair and they can fix something to the window frame to tie the
:04:57. > :05:01.operating cord in a figure eight, high up and out of way. And also if
:05:01. > :05:04.where possible just not install blinds in the child's bedroom.
:05:04. > :05:10.Where people have the blinds, there must be h millions of them, what
:05:10. > :05:16.are you saying to them? We know there are roughly 200 million

:05:54. > :05:57.Today it's the turn of Devon Partnership NHS Trust to scrutinise
:05:57. > :06:05.four deaths that happened while the perpetrators where known to their
:06:05. > :06:07.services between 2006 and 2007. The first case concerns Russell Deane,
:06:07. > :06:12.a 25-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia who beat his
:06:12. > :06:14.grandmother Phyliss Deane to death with a hammer in June 2007. He
:06:14. > :06:17.admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished
:06:17. > :06:23.responsibility and was detained indefinitely by the courts under a
:06:23. > :06:26.hospital order. With regards to case two, Adam Thomas was suffering
:06:26. > :06:32.from a psychopathic illness when he beat Sharon Stokes to death after
:06:32. > :06:36.meeting her in a nightclub on Valentine's Day 2007. He was
:06:36. > :06:41.convicted of murder. Michael Palmer in case three stabbed Victor Chalk
:06:41. > :06:46.in a Torquay apartment. In July 2006 he was sentenced to life for
:06:46. > :06:49.murder. And in the last case discussed, someone referred to in
:06:49. > :06:56.the report only as Mr Z, killed Robert Newby near Okehampton and
:06:56. > :06:59.was convicted of manslaughter in 2008. All the cases have already
:06:59. > :07:03.been fully investigated by the NHS trust, and three have been through
:07:03. > :07:05.the criminal justice system. Today's report is looking at
:07:05. > :07:10.whether the care the patients received contributed to the

:07:31. > :07:35.killings could not have been predicted, or prevented. But the
:07:35. > :07:38.investigation's concluded one killing could have been prevented.
:07:38. > :07:42.That was Russell Deane, the 25- year-old paranoid schizophrenic,
:07:42. > :07:47.who beat his grandmother to death. The report says he was reluctant to
:07:47. > :07:53.engage with treatment. He failed to take his medication. And used
:07:53. > :07:56.illicit drugs. But it says if the trust has acted on the concerns of
:07:56. > :08:03.his family and been more assertive in their care, the killing may not
:08:03. > :08:10.have happened. I put this point to the trused. -- Trust. I would like
:08:10. > :08:17.to extend our sympathys to all the families involved. We within the
:08:17. > :08:22.trust, we're all held to account if the practice fails to meet the
:08:22. > :08:31.standers that we consider are required. -- standards that we
:08:31. > :08:36.consider are required. Well the report on the Russell Deane case
:08:36. > :08:42.makes 14 recommendations. Improving record-keeping, improving diagnosis
:08:42. > :08:48.and improving medication. And it in all four cases the investigation
:08:48. > :08:51.found patients were all left vulnerable. Thank you. After the
:08:51. > :08:54.loss of their loved ones, families of victims of crime in Somerset are
:08:54. > :08:57.being contacted by police to say they've been buried without some of
:08:57. > :09:06.their body parts. Organs and tissue were kept legally, but relatives
:09:06. > :09:12.weren't told. Some were murder cases. John Ayres explains. They
:09:12. > :09:18.did not have the right to take things without anybody's consent
:09:18. > :09:26.whatsoever. Ann and Jane's brother Nigel died in 2003. The Just been
:09:26. > :09:30.told that when their buried him, his brain was missing. I'm just
:09:30. > :09:35.totally shocked. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know whether to
:09:36. > :09:39.smash a window, smack her, I really didn't know. The force is now
:09:39. > :09:43.investigating 100 deaths, looking at what tissue it has and talking
:09:43. > :09:49.to the families. It said it understands this may be upsetting,
:09:49. > :09:53.but Tish you -- tissue may be a critical factor in bringing an
:09:53. > :09:59.offender to justice. And there is the rub for some experts. Victims
:09:59. > :10:03.of crime may be able to help from beyond the grave. Take sudden

:10:12. > :10:18.Otherwise we have to wait on new cases coming and build up testing
:10:18. > :10:23.of that theory. But keeping tissue and organs and not telling the
:10:23. > :10:31.families is a difficult subject. A heart scandal at the British Royal
:10:31. > :10:38.Infirmary was more than 15 years ago. Helen Ricard was the first to
:10:38. > :10:42.find the truth. Families will be devastated to find they have buryed
:10:42. > :10:46.a loved one with organs missing. Burying somebody is the last thing
:10:47. > :10:51.you do for them and it affects your memories of them and to find
:10:51. > :10:56.something like this years later is very traumatic. The neighbouring

:14:30. > :14:39.sport more generally? Do think it has inspired people to get more
:14:39. > :14:45.active? Yes, especially in football. When we won in 2004, basketball,

:20:49. > :20:57.recognition of that service from the are LN9 -- the RNLI's director
