Summary:Hargreaves and Ashworth talk about the R. v Foye case. The appellant was a prisoner serving a sentence of life imprisonment for murder when he killed another prisoner. He was assessed after the first murder as having a severe personality disorder of the kind variously known as dissocial, antisocial or psychopathic. On Aug 1, 2010 he went looking for a fellow prisoner, C, who lived on the same wing as he did. C was not there. The appellant went away, bided his time, and came back mid-afternoon. He had equipped himself with toilet paper to cover the spyhole in the cell door.
