Spanish court refuses bail for Deyan Valentinov Deyanov as questions are raised over island's mental health provision

It has emerged that Mills-Westley, 60, who had five grandchildren, had sought refuge at an employment centre in Los Cristianos, where she told social services officials she was being trailed. A man was reportedly sent away from the area by a security guard before she left the building.

"He grabbed a large kitchen knife from the shelf and stabbed her at least 14 times in the neck without saying a word," the source said.

The local Canarias 7 newspaper reported on Sunday that Deyanov was known as "the prophet" because of his habit of shouting out that he was God on Earth....
