A man who randomly attacked two lone women and another man has been detained in a mental health facility.
The victims were told they had been in the 'wrong place at the wrong time'
The court heard moving victim impact statements from all three victims who described how their lives had been affected by the attacks, one of which took place on June 27 last year, with the following two both happening a month later on July 26. A second woman, who said she already suffered from anxiety, said the incident had made it worse, leaving her unable to leave her home for three weeks in the wake of Edwards' assault.
Judge Anthony Lowe heard evidence from psychiatric expert Dr Lavanya Sebastian, who said that Edwards' condition would not be treated were he to be sent to a conventional prison.Judge Lowe said he would be considering a hospital order, with a restriction on Edwards' release, instead of a prison sentence.
Sentencing Judge Lowe said:"With no explanation he carried out two attacks on women who were complete strangers to him.
