A man who fatally stabbed a British tourist in a regional Australian town has been found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. Royce Mallett, a 30-year-old father of two from County Durham, was attacked in the car park of a motel in Albury, New South Wales, on July 8, 2024.
Court proceedings revealed that Mallett had just entered his car outside the Hume Inn when David Summers-Smith approached and, without saying a word, reached through the window and stabbed him once in the chest with a steak knife.
