Attempted murder of his colleague / Plastic surgeon in England sentenced to life

A plastic surgeon in England has been sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of a colleague, whom he stabbed after trying to set fire to his house.

Jonathan Peter Brooks, 61, forced his way into Graeme Perks' home in Nottinghamshire in the early hours of January 14, 2021, wearing camouflage clothing and carrying a crowbar, petrol cans, matches and a knife.

Brooks doused the ground floor of the house with gasoline but was interrupted by Perks, 65, before he could set it on fire. The surgeon stabbed his recently retired colleague in the abdomen, causing life-threatening injuries.

Brooks had been the subject of disciplinary issues at work and it was clear he held a grudge against Perks for his involvement in the process, according to prosecutors.

Brooks was sentenced via video link from prison for refusing to leave his cell. His trial was "highly unusual" because he was not present at all times and was not represented by a legal team, prosecutors said. Brooks' sentencing followed a four-year series of court hearings, including a mistrial and several other canceled trial dates./CNA
