Margaret Ford was stabbed to death by her son in May 2009 A report is to be published into the killing of a woman in Pembrokeshire by her paranoid schizophrenic son.
Jarvis Ford, then 48, was assessed by a mental health team hours before he killed Margaret Ford, 84, after she banned him from smoking at home.
He is detained indefinitely under the mental health act for her manslaughter.
The Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) report will considers Ford’s care by mental health services and how this had an impact on his mother’s death.
Mrs Ford, originally from Solihull, West Midlands, was stabbed nine times by her son at the bungalow they shared at Templeton near Narberth in May 2009.
Ford had a long-term history of mental health problems, with a tendency for unpredictable and aggressive behaviour.
He received treatment under the mental health system, but was later released into the care of his mother.
“Her death was violent and cruel after a life of love and caring”
Statement by Ford’s sister after he was sentenced in October, 2009
He was detained indefinitely in October 2009 at Swansea Crown Court after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to an abnormality of mind.
The court heard that on the day of the stabbing he had been seen by healthcare workers and was due to see a doctor the next day. He had not taken his medication.
Ford flew into a rage over the smoking ban after his mother cooked their evening meal and he stabbed her nine times.
Afterwards, he rang his sister to confess, saying: “I’ve got some bad news because I am going to prison, mum is dead, she wouldn’t let me smoke in the house so I killed her.”
When police arrived, Ford told them what he had done.
After Ford was sentenced, his sister issued a statement saying: “This crime against our gentle, much loved Margaret has devastated her relatives and friends across the world.
“Her death was violent and cruel after a life of love and caring.”
She said Ford knew he might endanger others by failing to take his medication and that the family would maintain “our enduring opposition” to him ever being released.
The HIW report will be published on Monday afternoon.
