Patient who attempted to murder GP with an axe jailed for 23 years
Christopher Bernard Healey stalked Dr Anna Chaney for three years and then tried to kill her.
A man who tried to kill a GP with an axe after stalking her for years will spend more than two decades in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder.
Dr Anna Chaney was treating a pregnant woman at her Perth practice when Christopher Bernard Healey, a former patient from another practice, attacked her with an axe last September.
Mr Healey struggled with Dr Chaney and the patient, who was 12 weeks’ pregnant and hit on the temple during the fight.
Another doctor then disarmed Mr Healey and restrained him until police arrived.
