Vampire Attack

VHN COMMENT: Here we have yet another of hundreds of cases of homicidal murders which involve blood drinking killers, and often as these end up, killers who are children that murder parents and adult authority figures. In this case, it appears the parents survived their son's mentally deranged attack. This is not a case of the undead attacking the living, but once again, can we simply always blame everything on 'mental illness?' Yes, his brain just isn't functioning properly is it, and apparently when you are mentally ill, you just want to drink blood? Modern pharmaceutical drugs seem to factor into this, kids who go on bloody rampages, but ultimately, what is in us that gets triggered, that draws some people to blood drinking? In this case, its a homicidal intention, but what is happening here?

"A crazed son who stabbed his parents and then drank his stepfather's blood was locked up in a secure hospital yesterday.

Thomas Owen, 28, thought he had to kill Joe and Sheena Foster to prevent the murder of a little girl, a court heard.

Schizophrenic Owen, who had attacked his mother several times before, stormed into her bedroom in the middle of the night with a 10in kitchen knife. He launched a vicious attack on Sheena, 47, and Joe, 46, then sucked blood from his stepdad's wounds, telling him: "Joe, I've got to do this. We are vampires together."

Mr Foster, who was knifed 12 times in the left arm and twice in the stomach, persuaded Owen to fetch his dog from the yard and managed to dial 999 on his mobile. Teesside crown court heard that he will never recover full use of his arm.

His wife was stabbed in the stomach, right breast and arm. Owen told paramedics called to the family home in South Loftus, Cleveland: "I've got mental problems."

Toby Hedworth, defending, said Owen's medication was cut down when he had a dental operation and he thought he was better off without it. Judge Peter Bowers told him: "Clearly, when you are well, your stepfather and mother are the last people you would want to harm."

Owen, from Middlesbrough, pleaded guilty to his stepfather's attempted murder and wounding his mother. He was ordered to be detained in a secure hospital. His parents were in court and his mother waved to him as he was led away.
