Jonathan Peter Brooks, a plastic surgeon in England, has been sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of his colleague Graeme Perks. Brooks attacked Perks in his Nottinghamshire home, attempting to set it on fire and stabbing him in the abdomen. Prosecutors noted Brooks had a grudge against Perks due to disciplinary issues at work. He was convicted of multiple charges, including attempted murder and arson. The trial was unusual as Brooks was not present and had no legal representation. Perks described the attack as an 'unimaginable catastrophe' for his family.
