A plastic surgeon who dressed in military camouflage gear before breaking into a medical colleague’s £1m home in the middle of the night before plunging a knife into his stomach, has been convicted of attempted murder. Jonathan Peter Brooks, 61, attacked fellow plastic surgeon Graeme Perks, whom he was said to have “hated” after Mr Perks gave evidence in long-running disciplinary proceedings at the NHS Trust they both worked for.
Today he was convicted of two counts of attempted murder, attempted arson with intent to endanger life, and possession of a knife in a public place, after he knifed former colleague Graeme Perks in the early hours of January 14 2021. Jurors deliberated for more than 12 hours at Loughborough Courthouse before finding Brooks guilty of all the charges against him.
