Muhaydin Mire was charged with the Leytonstone tube station attack.
Mental health
Mire's mental state became a central point in his trial and post-event evaluations. He was reported to have a history of paranoid psychotic episodes, and was in hospital for three months as a result of the first of these in 2006. After moving to Leytonstone he had to stop working "because of anxiety, panic attacks, and depression", and four days before the attack he had missed an appointment with a community mental health worker because of "delusions that he was being followed by MI5 and MI6 agents".[1] His brother said that he had relapsed in August 2015 and that he used to telephone him with odd, delusional messages, but not with a political theme.[2]
Conviction
In June 2016, Mire was convicted of attempted murder and admitted four counts of attempted wounding. In July he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of eight and a half years.
