<h2>The attack on Christmas Eve</h2>

The attack took place on Christmas Eve when Thomas invited Bush to his room to meet before the holidays. What followed was a brutal stabbing. Bush was stabbed 37 times, and 13 of those wounds were to his neck. As Bush tried to escape, he left a trail of blood through the house. He was killed on the patio when Thomas cut an artery in his neck. Neighbours reported hearing “screams of horror” during the attack.

Thomas had searched online for "anatomy of the neck" before the crime, as reported by the NY Post.

Bush’s girlfriend, Ella Jeffries, told the court that Thomas had expressed violent thoughts about Bush and that Bush had started locking his door at night, afraid of his roommate’s behaviour.

Thomas' mental health is a key focus in his trial. After his arrest, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Earlier in the year, he had also been detained for trying to climb the fence at Buckingham Palace. Psychiatrists disagree on whether he was mentally ill when the murder took place. Thomas has admitted to manslaughter but denied murder, so the jury must decide if his actions were planned or affected by his mental illness. The trial is still ongoing as the court reviews the troubling details of the case.
