A surgeon has been convicted of the attempted murder of a fellow doctor, after he broke into his house, doused the ground floor in petrol and stabbed his victim, whom he wanted “out of the way”.
The plastic surgeon Jonathan Peter Brooks, 61, known as Peter, was convicted of two counts of attempted murder, attempted arson with intent to endanger life and possession of a knife in a public place after the attack on his former colleague Graeme Perks in the early hours of 14 January 2021.
