LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - A man arrested for the stabbing of George Harrison believed the Beatles were witches, his mother told a Liverpool newspaper on Thursday. The Liverpool Echo said the mother of Michael Abram, 33, told the newspaper her son suffered from mental health problems and had recently become obsessed with the band. ``He takes all music literally -- it is the Beatles at the moment but a few weeks ago it was Oasis. He has been running in pubs shouting about the Beatles,'' Lynda Abram told the paper. ``He hates them and even believes they are witches and takes their lyrics seriously. He started to wear a Walkman to play music to stop the voices in his head.'' Mrs Abram said her son had spent just over two weeks in a psychiatric ward in November but was sent home after he was involved in an attack on a nurse. www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications |
