A hospital in North Wales has been strongly criticised for the care it gave to a man with paranoid schizophrenia, who went on to murder a British grandmother in Tenerife.

Homeless Deyan Deyanov, 22, from Bulgaria, beheaded 60-year-old Jennifer Mills-Westley (pictured) seven months after leaving Glan Clwyd hospital.

A Healthcare Inspectorate Wales report said without the shortcomings in his care, Deyanov might not have murdered Mrs Mills-Westley.

Mrs Mills-Westley's daughter Samantha said she found it "incredibly difficult" knowing her mother "would still be alive" if Deyanov had been given "basic care".

Her other daughter Sarah said: "She loved us and her grandchildren immensely and she was a shining light, which was unfortunately extinguished too soon".

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which runs the hospital and carried out its own internal review prior to the inquiry, apologised to Mrs Mills-Westley's family and said lessons had been learnt.
