Tomorrow marks seven years since 29-year-old Brisbane bus driver Manmeet Sharma died, after he was set alight by one of his passengers.
A coroner probing the death of a Brisbane bus driver who was killed in a petrol bomb attack has found his attacker should not have been discharged from a mental health facility three months earlier.
Mr O'Donohue was charged with murder and 14 counts of arson and attempted murder but was deemed of unsound mind and unfit to stand trial for the murder in 2018.An inquest at the Coroners Court into the management of Mr O'Donohue's mental health by the public system was held in March last year.A court has heard Anthony Mark Edward O'Donohue should not have been discharged from a mental health facility three months before the alleged attack.
However, the coroner found, "it could not have been predicted that Mr O'Donohue could have gone on to kill someone, particularly in the manner that he killed Mr Sharma". "In 2016, when we landed in Brisbane, we asked one question; who was responsible?" family member, Winnerjit Singh said. "The biggest mistake that happened in this whole seven years has been the implementation and the installation of the partial barriers in our buses," assistant state secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, Tom Brown, said.
