Torrevieja court signs preventative custody order
NEWS Staff Reporter
British national Derek Watling, 42, a manic-depressive psychotic who has been urgently sought in the Torrevieja area for the past three weeks, was taken into police custody in Torrevieja yesterday and transferred to Vega Baja Hospital following a court order.

Mr Watling, who suffers from paranoia and persecution mania, arrived in Spain last month after disappearing from his home in the UK. A doctor in England immediately issued an urgent warning that he could be a serious danger to himself and the public if he felt himself threatened.

Watling, who had been living rough, has been arrested several times, but released with a caution.

Following reports of sightings in Torrevieja, his brother-in-law Richard Channon flew out to Spain to join in the hunt. Aided by Graham Knight of the Foreign Residents Office, Mr Channon sought an urgent court order committing him into custody for psychiatric assessment and treatment. The order was finally approved in a brief court hearing following a further sighting and subsequent detention of the patient yesterday. A police source said Mr Watling had been living rough in the Playa Cura area of the town, but refused to comment on whether charges were pending for law and order offences.

Mr Channon told Costa Blanca News: "The family have been very worried for Derek's welfare. He has a wife back home and manages a successful health club, but if he fails to take his medication problems can occur. We are now preparing to pay £7,000 for a specialist medical team to fly out from the UK and escort Derek home, but first he needs to be stabilised. Our current major concern is that he may be released from Vega Baja if he convinces the doctors of his recovery. With two degrees and a successful business career, he is very personable when his condition is under control."
