He was psychologically assessed in May, 1965, at the borstal allocation centre. After being charged with murder, he was under close observation in the hospitals at Dorchester and Winchester prisons from 26th November, 1965, to 22nd March, 1966, and was examined on several occasions by psychiatrists. The medical examination made at Maidstone before the adjudication by the Board of Visitors did not include a psychiatric examination. He was diagnosed as a psychopath when re-examined at Wormwood Scrubs in September-October, 1966.
