Odessa Carey would often speak of her belief that the woman she was living with was not her real mother
A woman was discharged by the community mental health team only months before she decapitated her mum, an inquest has been told.
Now at the inquest into the mum's death, Coroner Andrew Hethrington has heard details of the mental health care Odessa received in the run up to the savage killing. But she was not sent to a drug and alcohol treatment service, and Ms Dunn said there was no indication that Carey intended to harm her mother.The inquest heard that in April 2018, she was detained in an acute mental health ward in Newcastle following an assault on her mother.
She was discharged on May 30, and a bed was eventually found for her at The Old Fire House, a homeless hostel in Blyth."She remained delusional and was upset about the way her discharge had been handled," she said. "It would have been better if we could have had a co-ordinated discharge and she had somewhere to go. It could have been handled a little bit better."
