Alleged killer Daniel Rounce will not stand trial due to issues regarding his mental health
A teenager fatally stabbed a pensioner through the heart after randomly walking into an unlocked house to carry out the attack, a court has heard. Gerald Wickes, a 79-year-old great-grandfather, died from a single blow inflicted as he was visiting his ex-wife and son at a house in Queens Park Way, Eyres Monsell, Leicester, on February 22.
Opening proceedings at Leicester Crown Court, prosecutor Steven Bailey said: “The attacker walked in through an unlocked door, unannounced and uninvited. Mr Bailey told the jury of five men and seven women that the defendant had gone missing from his supported accommodation in Markfield, near Leicester, the previous day.
Mr Bailey said Rounce was arrested about six hours later elsewhere in Leicester, but “started to struggle and kick out” as he was detained, which led to him kicking an officer in the shin.
