William Warrington, 42, a heavy cannabis user, was detained indefinitely at Broadmoor on Tuesday after admitting killing his father Clive, 67, and mother Valerie, 73, at their Gloucestershire home. Bristol Crown Court heard how the day before her murder, Mrs Warrington had sent an email to the secure unit where her son was being held, saying she feared for her safety and that of her other children. In a victim impact statement read to the court, her family said she had been frustrated by failings in mental health provision and had repeatedly tried to raise the alarm to the police and the NHS about the danger she posed. They said: “Over the past few weeks our fears for the safety of the family have been shared with the emergency services, Gloucestershire Police, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. “The pain of losing our parents is immeasurable and we will carry it every day for the rest of our lives. “We will forever be affected by the dramatic nature and preventable circumstances which we have been told will be fully investigated by an official inquiry.”
