[2012] EWCA Crim 2071

Two sentences of discretionary life imprisonment imposed following convictions in 1998 and 2000 for violent offences were replaced on appeal with hospital and restriction orders under the Mental Health Act 1983 s.37 and s.41 as those orders would have been the correct disposal at sentence had the offender's paranoid schizophrenia been identified at the time.
