Serious care failings were a factor in son killing his father, coroner in Wales rules
Swansea inquest hears how weak security at psychiatric ward enabled Daniel Harrison to escape and attack father an hour later
A string of serious failings in the care provided for a man with schizophrenia who killed his father an hour after absconding from a psychiatric ward contributed to the death, a coroner has ruled.
Coroner Kirsten Heaven also said that security systems at the hospital where Daniel Harrison was being detained were inadequate and played their part in events leading to the killing of retired chest consultant Kim Harrison.
