Bradley Huggins was a troubled young man who struggled with mental illness. His condition had deteriorated to the point where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, a severe and debilitating disorder. Sadly, this illness would ultimately lead to a tragic and senseless act that would forever change the lives of those involved.
Bradley's mother, Hazel, was a loving and caring woman who had always been there for her son. But as his illness progressed, she grew increasingly concerned about his behavior and the threats he made. Eventually, Bradley moved out of his parents' home, but his mother continued to support him in any way she could.
Two months after moving out, Bradley called his mother to his flat, claiming he needed help cleaning it due to a contagious infection. When Hazel arrived, she was met with a horrifying and violent attack from her own son. Bradley stabbed her multiple times, leaving her with 11 knife wounds. Tragically, Hazel did not survive the attack.
In the aftermath of this devastating event, Bradley's actions and communications were cryptic and confusing. He made a call to the police and sent messages to his father, apologizing and urging him to call the authorities. When his father couldn't reach Hazel, he called the police himself, not knowing the horrific truth of what had happened.
Bradley's father described his wife as a "bright shining light" and a beloved member of their family. Despite the shock and grief, he forgave his son and hoped that he would receive the help and care he needed to manage his illness.
During police interviews, Bradley admitted to killing his mother, but it was determined that he was not in his right mind at the time due to his schizophrenia. He was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order, with the hope that he would receive the necessary treatment and support for his mental illness.
The loss of Hazel was a devastating blow to her family and community. Her husband spoke of her faith, kindness, and radiant spirit, and how she touched the lives of many. He also expressed gratitude to the police, CPS, and other organizations for their support during this difficult time.
In the end, the family's faith and forgiveness were what helped them cope with the unimaginable tragedy. They hope that through sharing their story, they can bring awareness and understanding to the struggles of those with mental illness and advocate for better care and support for those who need it. Hazel will always be remembered as a "bright shining light" and a beloved wife, mother, and friend.
