Suicidal knifeman bloodied office

A knifeman who cut his wrists in Tory MP Sir Malcolm Rifkind's office has been found guilty of criminal damage.

Robert Corcoran, a self-described former Mensa member and top cyclist, slashed at his wrists and sprayed blood over Sir Malcolm's Chelsea office.

Corcoran, 43, was upset at being deported from the US for overstaying. He will be sentenced in six weeks.

The court had heard Corcoran had also tried to hack at his throat and cut his leg as Sir Malcolm's staff hid behind a door.

He had insisted the blood splashes caused from his protest did not amount to criminal damage.
