(poisoning, OD, hanging). He had said in the past that he tried to hang himself aged 16 when
he was in a young offender’s institute. He had said that he needed resuscitation. He tried to
hang himself a second time after he was sentenced by a judge aged 20. He had said that he
drank Nitrous Oxide in 2014 with intent to die.
According to his Risk Assessment he was regularly a victim or witness of his father’s violent
