    Plastic surgeon Peter Brooks found guilty of attempting to murder colleague | UK News

    A plastic surgeon has been found guilty of the attempted murder of a fellow doctor who he stabbed after a failed attempt to set his house on fire.

    Peter Brooks broke into the home of Graeme Perks, also a plastic surgeon, before dousing the ground floor with petrol in the early hours of 14 January 2021, his trial at Loughborough Courthouse heard.

    The 61-year-old then repeatedly stabbed Mr Perks because he wanted him “out of the way”, the jury was told.

    Brooks was “voluntarily absent” from his month-long trial because he was on hunger strike and said he would “rather be dead than incarcerated”, it can now be reported.

    He also sacked his lawyers before the trial and was unrepresented in the case.

    Brooks has been convicted of two counts of attempted murder, attempted arson with intent to endanger life, and possession of a knife in a public place.

    Jurors deliberated for more than 12 hours before finding Brooks guilty of all the charges against him.

    This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
