MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - A psychiatric patient was charged Thursday with two counts of murder in the overnight stabbing deaths of two men who were also patients at an Australian hospital.
Police told the Melbourne Magistrates Court that Peko Lakovski, 49, armed himself with a large kitchen knife and stabbed his roommate and another man late Wednesday.
The three men, all convicted murderers, were patients at Thomas Embling Hospital, a secure facility that assists people from the criminal justice system who need psychiatric assessment or treatment.
