Ben Oliver suffered from a number of mental health problems and had been diagnosed with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and Depression.

The 25-year-old admitted manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.

Jenni led Mark Stevens (25 Bedford Row) and was instructed by Banks and Partners Solicitors.
