Harrison attacker apologises on release
Friday 5 July 2002Abram apologised for the attack, saying he was very ill at the time and "really not in control".
He stabbed Harrison repeatedly after breaking into his Henley-on-Thames mansion in December 1999.
Cleared of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity, Abram was ordered to be detained at a secure hospital "without time restriction" in November 2000.
A tribunal on Thursday found that he had responded well to treatment and was fit to be released after 19 months at a Merseyside clinic.
Harrison's family have described Abram's discharge as "upsetting and insulting". His widow Olivia and son Dhani said the attack had robbed Harrison of the vital energy he needed to maintain his health.
George Harrison died of cancer last November.

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
