Colonel Philip Agany, said that the suspect is in police custody.<\/p>\n \u201cThe man who is purported to be a mentally ill person is being detained as we fear that he will carry on attacking people even worse. So that is why we are detaining him,\u201d said Agany.<\/p>\n The police detective, however, blames the suspect\u2019s relatives for allowing the man, whom they know is mentally disturbed, to walk and roam around without any caution.<\/p>\n He stressed that the suspect might end up killing some residents in the neighborhood due to his aggressiveness.<\/p>\n South Sudan\u2019s hospitals and health facilities are ill-equipped with specialized units that can handle mental illness cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Hou Akot Hou A mentally disturbed man has stabbed and injured two people in Anyuom-janng village in Gomjuer West Payam of Aweil West County, Northern Bahr El Gazal State.
