Sir Richard Sutton killing: partner tells of son’s ‘wild-eyed’ attack

Anne Schreiber describes her son Thomas's actions and character to the court from a Salisbury spinal unit

The partner of a multimillionaire who was left paralysed when her son stabbed her repeatedly has described the moment she turned from the kitchen sink to find him brandishing a knife in front of her as if they were in a crime film.

Giving evidence from a spinal unit, Anne Schreiber said her son, Thomas Schreiber, looked like a wild-eyed stranger as he assaulted her at the mansion she shared with Sir Richard Sutton, who was killed in the attack.
