Train crash killer wins compensation case
Hannah Strange
A Paddington train crash survivor who claimed he was turned into a killer by post-traumatic stress disorder stands to receive thousands in compensation after a landmark Appeal Court ruling today.
Judges ruled that Kerrie Gray, 48, is due damages from rail firms after he was incarcarated in a mental hospital for stabbing a pedestrian to death with a kitchen knife in August 2001, two years after the horrific crash in which 31 people died.
The High Court, which had previously rejected the claim, must now decide the level of his payout.
The court heard that Gray was "perfectly normal" until the Ladbroke Grove crash in October 1999 but afterwards underwent a significant personality change, suffering depression, anxiety and uncontrollable anger.
