Plastic surgeon Peter Brooks who attempted to murder former boss is jailed

Peter Brooks, a 61-year-old plastic surgeon, stabbed Graeme Perks and attempted arson at Perks' home in Halam, Nottinghamshire, on January 14, 2021.
Brooks planned the attack after Perks had retired, cycling to Perks' house with petrol, a knife, and a crowbar intending to kill him and set fire to the property.
Brooks broke into the property wearing camouflage, doused the downstairs with petrol, and inflicted near-fatal stab wounds to Perks, who had a 95% chance of death.
Leicester Crown Court sentenced Brooks to life imprisonment with a 22-year minimum; the judge called Brooks' crimes a "murderous expedition" and noted Brooks did not appear in court.
The attack caused severe trauma to Perks and his family, while prosecutors described Brooks as manipulative, remorseless, and determined to kill, indicating long-term risks post-release.
