Odessa Carey left 'wandering the streets' after being discharged from psychiatric ward

A mentally-ill woman was left "wandering the streets" with no money after being discharged from a psychiatric ward, an inquest heard.

Odessa Carey was discharged from Newcastle's Lowry Ward on May 30, 2018, where she was sectioned a month earlier after assaulting her mother.

Less than a year after her discharge, mentally-ill Carey killed her 73-year-old mother before cutting off her head at her home in Ashington in April 2019.
