of the ruthless El Tina Scana. murder of seven year old Emily Jones in the UK, there is no reason this poor girl would be murdered on Mother's Day for no reason. What really happened on that fateful Sunday afternoon in 2020 that tore apart a small family, prompting El tiona. Scana gets his hands dirty in the cold blooded murder of an innocent seven year old girl welcome or welcome back to Twisted Minds my name is James and in today's

case

I will share with you the details of this absolutely disgusting act of unprovoked. violence by El tiona scan ha Scana was born on February 24, 1990 in Albania and moved to Kuwait with her husband at the age of 31 in February 2012.

This did not last long and she returned to Albania to live with her family in 2013 Scana then left Albania again in July 2014 and traveled to Frankfurt, Germany, and from there he illegally moved to the United Kingdom in August 2014, hitchhiking in a truck. This was organized by Altiona's sister. Initially, she had lied to authorities saying she was a victim of human trafficking and that was how she came to the UK, but it was later discovered that was not the case. The entire human trafficking story was false, despite this Scana applied for residency in the UK but she was rejected in 2018.

However, she was later granted. permission to remain in the UK until 28 November 2020. Tiona scan was a paranoid schizophrenic who was in treatment for several years, was on and off medication and even had to have injections at one point to keep her symptoms under control because he refused. to take her oral medications. She was known to be rebellious when it came to taking medications at the mental health facility where she was being treated for several years. She was also physically violent towards her family. Scana stabbed her own mother in 2017 and attacked her sister in In another incident in 2015, she was institutionalized after wielding a knife at her neighbor and was detained under the mental health law.

She fled many times from the psychiatric center where she was being treated. She often asked for a lead which was granted and then she had never returned, she had appealed against her detention and although she initially lost in August 2018, she was deemed fit to return to society, was still under supervision and was visited twice by nurses. per week, which gradually reduced to fewer visits, as the medical authorities thought. that scan's condition was improving, she did not like the injections and finally in 2019 she successfully stopped using them by convincing the medical staff that she would take her oral medications, even after learning that she had refused oral medications several times. times in the past and was known to do so. not to consume them if she was left alone, the mental health authorities still trusted her and sent her with the prescription.

The tion are violent crimes combined with a lack of judgment on the part of the medical facilities led to innocent little Emily Jones losing her life and there Nobody made that horrible scene. What followed next in the lives of those who loved Emily deeply can be described as nothing short of heartbreaking: Seven-year-old Emily was at Queen's Park in Bolton, UK, with her parents, Mark Jones, who is a credit manager. For a law firm and Sarah Barnes, who is a lawyer, the parents separated when Emily was just three years old, but they made sure that she received the valuable time she deserved from each of them.

Both Mark and Sarah only live five minutes away. Queens Park Bolton. It's a fairly large park, about 22 acres, it has running tracks and a duck pond along a large grass field and a children's play area, a perfect place for families like Emily's to spend time together on the beautiful spring afternoon of Mother's Day. On March 22, 2020, the family was at the park to enjoy their time together until her innocent outing took a brutal turn. Emily was wearing a cute navy blue jacket with red and white polka dots and was enjoying some play time on her scooter with her dad when she decided to go with her mom, who was out jogging.

Emily tried to call her mother several times, but Sarah Barnes had her headphones on and she couldn't hear her. Emily left on her scooter to reach her mother, the girl was not aware of the fact. that her life was about to end tragically, Altiona Scana was sitting on the park bench and as soon as Emily passed by, Scana grabbed the seven-year-old girl, pulled out a craft knife from her bag and slit the girl's throat. , then threw it away. The child's bloody body fell to the ground and ran out of the park. It happened so fast that Emily's father didn't even have time to realize

what

he had seen.

At first he thought that Emily had probably fallen off her scooter and her lady was helping her. He picks you up again, only when Mark and Sarah Jones ran towards the scene to see

what

happened did they realize the seriousness of the situation or little Emily was lying on the ground bleeding profusely. Emergency calls were made and paramedics were called in the meantime. The people who were present at the park when the murder occurred helped keep Emily stable. One of the two people was a registered nurse. She performed CPR on Emily. An emergency services helicopter arrived and several police cars lined up outside the park before it closed. to outsiders for investigation, paramedics rushed to the scene and Emily was airlifted by helicopter and admitted to Salford Royal Hospital.

Doctors did everything they could to help Emily, but she unfortunately went into cardiac arrest and she was pronounced dead at 3:56 p.m. Emily Jones was born. on January 18, 2013 and was a bright and lively young woman loved by everyone, she had many friends at school and was known to always be smiling, she was well liked by everyone and loved taking part in various activities, it is simply devastating that the vibrant girl who was so full of laughter in life that she had to leave this world so soon and through no fault of her own her death had a huge impact not only on Emily's immediate family but also on the Bolton community that same day, El Tiana had bought a pack of three handmade knives in a shop before heading to Queen's Park Bolton that day, he clearly had plans to kill, but he had absolutely no connection with Emily or her family, he had no reason to kill a child of seven years, it was an unprovoked decision. cruel and random act of violence that took away a family's happiness as we think about patients suffering from mental disorders and try to understand them, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing can ever justify this murder, was there a lack of judgment on the part of the medical institutions about Scana's condition were not strict measures taken by mental health care facilities to keep Scana under strict surveillance and medication that someone somewhere definitely failed.

We'll explore that further in the video, but before that let's look at how Eltiana Scana was arrested after attacking Emily Scana and fled the scene. but another couple walking through the park that day had seen her escape after committing the horrible crime. Tony Canty and her wife Lindsay were terrified when they saw what had happened before her eyes but the chilling scene did not stop Tony from jumping into action to catch her. The wild woman Tony was carrying her little daughter in her arms at the time, but quickly handed her over to her wife Lindsay and chased Scana, caught up with her, attacked her, and held her firmly on the ground until she was free.

Police arrived at the scene. This brave man would not have done what he did, it would have taken much longer to capture Scana's act of bravery Tony Canty at a time like this is worthy of praise, soon the police arrived at the scene and El Tiana Scana was arrested for the murder of Emily Jones of the In the images it is clearly seen that Scana seemed unperturbed, it is impossible to say that minutes before his break he had stabbed a seven-year-old boy in a cold-blooded murder, he seemed calm as if nothing had happened when the officer asked him about what was in her bag she seemed to be extremely frustrated and agitated, it was as if she felt uncomfortable about the arrest.

She casually told them that she had kept a knife in her purse along with other things like juice, water, and her and her mother's ID cards. no, no knocks, no, nothing, not just my ID card, the ID card on my mother's ID card, yes, there's a knife, some water, some juice, okay, nothing, okay, that's it, so there's nothing, nothing that's going to hurt me, no, they took her to Ramton hospital, a high-security mental hospital. center in Nottinghamshire for a mental health assessment, as it appeared not to be a mode of murder and there was a high possibility that Scana was suffering from some form of mental disorder; in fact, even Tony Canty, who had chased her and held her until the police arrived. had said I was rambling he also said something like he tried to kill me referring to Emily this didn't make sense but Rey's suspicion and the possibility that Scana suffered from schizophrenia this suspicion was confirmed when the police raided Skanna's apartment after her arrest and found a stash of antipsychotic medication A month's worth of medication was lying around, as I said earlier in the video.

Scana was trusted by mental health care professionals to take prescribed oral medication despite his terrible history, it is now clear that he was not taking his medications in the month leading up to Emily Ruth and the unprovoked murder, could this have indirectly led to Emily's murder? Could everything have been prevented? Maybe maybe not, when it comes to mental health, such things are always debatable, but we will learn later in this case that there was a significant possibility that this incident could have been completely prevented when the trial took place, we are talking about March 2020, when covid-19 hit the world like a truck, this meant multiple subsequent strains of the virus, multiple lockdowns and multiple delays in the fraudulent trial Finally the trial began.

Via video conference at Minshall Street Crown Court on 26 November 2020, which would continue to be a seven-day trial, jurors were told about Scana's condition and the fact that he had been experiencing symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. For years, it was revealed that when he arrived in the United Kingdom, a doctor had diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder, but he never actually attended any of the cognitive behavioral therapy sessions that were later recommended to him. She accepted some help on the mental health front in 2015, however, she was unable to keep up with her medications. She often fled the mental health facility she was in only to be returned by the police.

She even refused to take her oral medication, which was a key part of her treatment plan, as I mentioned earlier in the video. At her place, Scana was given antipsychotic injections. Due to her refusal to take her oral medications, she continued receiving the injections for the next four or five years, but then she also stopped taking them because she did not cope well with the side effects. The overall goal of the trial was not to decide whether or not to scan the murdered Emily because it was clear that she did, the goal was to determine whether it was murder or manslaughter.

There were three psychiatrists to evaluate El Tiana Scana in this case, Dr. John Crosby, Dr. Syed Afghan and Dr. Helen Whitworth at an earlier time. At the hearing, Scana had pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter due to minimized responsibility arising from her mental disorder. Dr. Crosby and Dr. Whitworth agreed that Scana suffered a psychotic episode before killing Emily and therefore she may be considered to have diminished responsibility at the time of the murder; However, Dr. Afghan who was treated and scanned at Ramton had a different opinion. He agreed that Scana had a psychological condition, but also believed that at the time of killing Emily Jones Scana was not completely insane and that despite her mental health diagnosis she was well aware of what she was doing, what it was.

Scana, who actually suffered from the condition known as paranoid schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications are necessary for patients with paranoid schizophrenia as they help curb delusions and patients are able to relax and remain calm for longer periods. Time, as they say, is a lifelong illness that needs lifelong medication and in Scana's case, she had stopped taking her medication, which can prove fatal for paranoid schizophrenics and the people around them, His schizophrenic symptoms and episodes came to light during the trial in In the past, Scana had complained about his neighbors becauseshe was constantly worried that they were plotting against her and

want

ed to harm her with electricity, as mentioned above.

He had also attacked members of her family before biting her mother, stabbing her in the hand and punching her. on the head with an iron there were large red flags waving, the attack on this young and beautiful soul Emily Jones ended tragically with the death of the girl, but if Scana did not personally know Emily and her family and had no logical reason to kill her Can this murder be called premeditated in legal terms? Here are the chilling words of El Tiana Scana. She told this to a nurse at the high-security Ramton Hospital in Nottinghamshire in August, where she was being assessed ahead of the trial.

It was premeditated. I waited in a park and chose my victim. I did what I did and tried to run away, but this was coming from someone who was not on antipsychotic medication and therefore this does not amount to premeditation. Scana had no idea what she was talking about. When he said that he had also been taken off antipsychotic medication at Rampton to see how this affected him and that the results were not good, he had outbursts of anger and on some occasions El Tiana even threatened to kill the staff and their families at Rampton, he began to He acted strangely in late July when he spoke in a foreign language and asked one of the staff members if he was going to die shortly after complaining that his skin was constantly burning and that he could feel some kind of electrical energy interference the August 5, 2020 saw a girl who looked like Emily on TV and laughed hysterically now that's really cruel and creepy here is another chilling statement from El Tiana Scana that was told to the court by Jonathan petite, a trained nurse and team leader at rampton Scana had told him this on August 16, 2020.

I killed someone, that's why I'm here, it's been three months. I just want to leave it behind when Jonathan asked her how she was doing. feeling in rampton this is how she snapped back what do you want me to make her cry all the time according to El Tiana Scana her mental state was the fault of the head office and it was the injections that led to her psychopathy she felt that the injections worsened her condition , but the doctors claimed otherwise, they noticed the scan getting better while on medication and acted quite erratically. They stopped it when all this happened in rampton.

Dr. Syed Afghan resumed Scana's medication on October 16, 2020. He noticed that Scana was much calmer and took action. relatively normal while taking his medication, unlike when he often did so, although Dr. Afghan sensed that Scana had some presence in me when he killed Emily, this evidence was enough to prove Scana's diminished responsibility on the day he killed Emily. Jones, they wanted the court to see that Scana didn't know what he was doing and that his uncontrolled behavior was the result of his mental illness. She was not in a healthy state of mind when the unfortunate incident occurred, but does that make her murder any less cruel or Emily's?

Life is not less valuable, but in legal terms it would not be considered murder since it was not premeditated, it was involuntary manslaughter. Can the term be changed? Change a criminal sentence. In this case, Scana was ultimately charged with involuntary manslaughter due to her diminished liability. of her mental disorder, how does diminished responsibility affect a criminal's sentence? The defense of diminished responsibility eliminates the idea of ​​premeditation of the murder, meaning that it was unplanned and occurred in the heat of the moment or in self-defense or due to mental illness in this case the criminal Eltiana Scana had a functioning abnormality mental condition caused by a recognized medical condition paranoid schizophrenia that the defense used to allege murder charges depending on the case the sentence for involuntary manslaughter is a little more relaxed than that of murder since it is not considered premeditated after all the evidence that pointed to a diminished responsibility because El Tiana Scana's mental illness prosecutor, Michael Brady, eventually dropped the murder charges because they did not have enough evidence to prove otherwise despite all the evidence of his mental illness.

Mr Justice Wall believed that Scana appeared to be aware of his actions, even partially, so there is evidence of his presence of mind, as he had purchased three handcrafted knives before going to Queen's Park that day, making it clear who, unfortunately, was planning to kill someone. Seven-year-old Emily was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Scana had also fled the scene after killing the girl. This shows that she was very aware of what she was doing, otherwise why add that to the fact that she didn't do it? She did not inform the authorities that she was not taking her medication and it is evidence enough that she was not completely crazy when she mercilessly took Emily's future and her family's happiness away from them.

She partially knew what she was doing. The trial ended with Scana not guilty of murder, the prosecution dropping the murder charge after receiving sufficient evidence from a senior psychologist at Ramton House Hospital. This is what psychiatrist Dr. Helen Whitworth said during the hearing. In reality, I don't think it was intentional to see that it was a woman who did not understand that she was mentally ill. In my opinion, Miss Scana needs to be therapeutically medicated at all times probably for the rest of her life on December 8, 2020 Tiana Scana was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 10 years and 8 months in prison after admitting involuntary manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

She is being held and treated at Rampton Hospital, a psychiatric facility in Nottinghamshire. this was a hybrid order which meant that Scana would be treated and once deemed fit to move to prison for the rest of her life. sentence in a heartbreaking impact statement Emily's father, Mark Jones, said: How can you put into words how you feel about the senseless death of your only child? It's too difficult to understand. Our future has also been taken away. How can you enjoy life when you are older? part of it is no longer there we will never see Emily grow up and become the wonderful young woman we knew she would be we will never see her hold her own child in her arms like we held her how can an innocent child playing in the park be possible? to be murdered in such a violent and monstrous way Emily Jones paid with her life for nothing of hers.

She was just a seven year old girl having fun with her family in a park on a Sunday afternoon, how could she or he have seen it? her parents? comes, everything is so tragic that the scanner's condition improves, she will be transferred to a prison for the rest of her sentence, the worst part is that if she shows good behavior for an extended period of time, she could even be released and free. She will still be under supervision for the rest of her life, but just thinking about her living in society like everyone else after senselessly killing a child is a lot to take in.

Jones was a student at Markland Hill Primary School in Bolton and was doing very well. Much to the liking of his classmates and teachers, the school made an effort to build a memorial garden in Emily's name, starting a fundraiser with a goal of £5,000. It was reached in just 12 hours into the campaign and soon surpassed £11,000 a head. Teacher Louise Close said we want a lasting legacy for this girl who was taken so soon, so quickly and tragically. Emily Jones' parents started a separate fundraiser. They raised over ten thousand pounds in 24 hours with the funds going to Bolton's Lads and Girls Club. which offers sports and arts activities for children and teenagers across Bolton, the amount reached more than £25,000 at the time of the criminal sentencing in December 2020.

There will never be closure, but it's safe to say we're all hoping and praying that Mark and Sarah can find some peace knowing that justice took its course in Ghana. She may never walk free, as the girl who lost her life long before it was time will be forever missed by those who knew and loved her, a beautiful young soul who walked. Earth for far less time than he deserved, he positively impacted the lives of many people in his short but significant time on Earth. May her soul rest in peace, thank you for tuning in to Twisted Minds, that was the case with El Tiona Scana and why not?
