Janet Müller was failed by a mental health trust a jury has found.

University of Brighton student Janet, 21, was brutally killed after escaping twice from Mill View mental health hospital in Hove in March 2015, where she had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Her body was found a burnt-out Volkswagen Jetta near Ifield Golf Club and last year Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw found guilty of manslaughter and jailed for 17 years.

A two week inquest was tasked with determining the circumstances that led to Janet being detained at Mill View and how she came to escape.

The jury concluded Janet had been unlawfully killed giving a narrative verdict identifying failings in risk assessments and record keeping by Sussex Partnership NHS Trust.

West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield said: "The jury clearly identified failings in the way the trust cared for Janet.

"The trust has carried out an investigation and a number of changes have been made and the garden wall increased in height.

"But I have a duty to record my concerns to prevent further deaths.

"The jury identified failings in respect of record keeping and assessing risk.

"Patients are still absconding and it does concern me that patients are not being protected."
