A
SOCIAL worker was stabbed by a psychiatric patient while they were
both in a car.
Derek Wagg, aged 54, last week admitted stabbing Gareth Dafydd in
September as he drove them from a community mental health residential
unit.
Wagg, a voluntary patient at the unit, had been informed he could
no longer stay after a knife was found in his bedroom.
But
as Mr Dafydd took him home to Harlech, north Wales, Wagg stabbed
him twice in the chest. Wagg had previously admitted wounding with
intent.
Wagg,
has been remanded in custody until January 5 for a psychiatric report.
