Brenton Marriott died in hospital after being stabbed to death by his mentally ill son.

Rudi Marriott was sentenced to a hospital order last April after being found guilty of manslaughter.

His brother Delvin Marriott said the family tried to get him help years before the attack.

Delvin said Rudi 's report of hearing voices "wasn't taken seriously" when he was in hospital, with his condition still difficult at home.

A domestic homicide review into Brenton 's death began on 9 January 2023 .

The panel conducting the review is set to complete its work this year .

Delvin hopes it will bring about the changes needed to stop similar incidents happening again.

He said the Nottingham attacks might not have happened had the authorities listened to his family.
