A man has been found guilty of murder after stabbing a woman to death in a park hours after he warned he would kill a stranger if he was not sectioned.

The court was told that Davis was living in temporary accommodation provided by a housing association, having been homeless in Exeter when he moved there from Bournemouth. Davis began expressing his love for his support worker between February 9 and 16 and was seen by the mental health team, who decided he did not need to be sectioned.Cameron Davis blamed staff at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital for ignoring him when he ‘cried out for help’
