Images of the woman's ½ý³²s from the ¿½¤·Î©¤Æ¤é¤ì¤¿¡¿µ¿¤ï¤·¤¤ attack show bruises on the Ì£Êý¤¹¤ë of her ľÌ̤¹¤ë that bore a 'Îà»÷¤Î resemblance' to the ñÆȤΠpattern of ÀèƬs sneakers he owned, police ¼çÄ¥¤¹¤ë.

His solicitor, Jasper?MacCuspie, told the Ë¡ÄºÛȽ½ê his ¡ÊÊÛ¸î»Î¤Î¡Ë°ÍÍê¿Í had escaped the hospital after waiting almost six hours to be seen.

¼£°ÂȽ»ö Foster ¥¬¥¹¡¿±ìd that he had 'bent over backwards' to ǧ²Ä¤¹¤ë the hospital visit.

'This makes me query if I will ever ǧ¤á¤ë this order again,' he told the Ë¡ÄºÛȽ½ê on Tuesday.

He said he was also Íð˽¡¿Ë½ÎϤò²Ã¤¨¤ëd that a ·ùµ¿¼Ô¡¤ÍƵ¿¼Ô¡¿µ¿¤¦d mentally-ill ´µ¼Ô had been left untreated and unattended for almost six hours.?

Pledger's Êݼá¡Ê¶â¡Ë was ¼è¤ê¾Ã¤¹d and a Îá¾õ for his ÂáÊá¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë ÌäÂ꡿ȯ¹Ô¤¹¤ëd.?

¤Ë¤â¤«¤«¤ï¤é¤º °ÊÁ° resisting police ³èÆ°¡¿ÀïÆ® for the ¿½¤·Î©¤Æ¤é¤ì¤¿¡¿µ¿¤ï¤·¤¤ »öÁ°¤Î ¶¯½±¡¤¶¯´¯s, the ¿½¤·Î©¤Æ¤é¤ì¤¿¡¿µ¿¤ï¤·¤¤ µ¾À·¼Ô told police that she 'believes he will ·ë¶É kill her', the Ë¡ÄºÛȽ½ê was told.

Police ¸¡»¡´±¡¤¸¡»ö Olivia Sparrow had recommended that Pledger remain in Êݸ¹´Î± as he was an 'ÍÆǧ¤Ç¤­¤Ê¤¤ ´í¸±' to the community while homeless and ¶²¤é¤¯ ¶ì¤·¤àing ËãÌô and mental health ÌäÂ꡿ȯ¹Ô¤¹¤ës.

Ms Sparrow also ¡Ä¤ËÈ¿ÂФ¹¤ëd an in-´µ¼Ô mental health ººÄ꡿ɾ²Á order made during a Êݼá¡Ê¶â¡Ë ¿³Íý¡¤¸øÄ°²ñ last week, as staff can't ÆùÂÎŪ¤Ë ˸¤²¤ë him from leaving.

¼£°ÂȽ»ö Foster had also ¶õµ¤¡¿¸øɽ¤¹¤ëd his ´Ø¿´s over the order as it meant Pledger could leave without ¸ºß apprehended.

¡ÆClinically he might get on his ËãÌôs and whatever ¼£ÎÅ he needs and show ²þÎÉ. Then he can be ²òÊü¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd into the community,' he said.

¡ÆThe ´í¸± of something ¤½¤Î¾å¤Î happening and having Èá»´¤Ê consequences is striking.¡ Ç
