Daniel Bannister, 51, the man convicted in relation to the stalking of Cheryl Tweedy, is moved from prison to a secure psychiatric hospital under the Mental Health Act. The move takes place months before he was due for release from custody.
According to reporting, Bannister was first returned to prison after being sectioned and then spent a period back behind bars before the latest transfer to hospital. The outlets describe the hospital placement as “secure” and being carried out under the Mental Health Act, with the Mirror characterizing the move as occurring secretly ahead of his release date.
While the accounts emphasize timing and the change of setting from prison to hospital, they align on the core elements: Bannister’s age, the stalking case linked to Cheryl Tweedy, his Mental Health Act sectioning, the short period in prison afterward, and his subsequent transfer to a psychiatric facility ahead of a planned release date.
