I've had more information from the public in this one last day than I have had in my life. The laws on mental health are really a quagmire."She was encouraged to discover that the Government's Green Paper on mental health, published the month before the attack, had contained plans for victims of violence by patients to be notified before their release. That has yet to become law.Despite her new-found knowledge, she has neither the strength nor the will to become a campaigner. After the intense media coverage of last week, the Harrisons chose a conversation with this newspaper as the way to bring this latest harrowing chapter of their lives to a close."The line is drawn under it all when I hang up this phone," said Mrs Harrison "I want to get on with my life. We all do."The family continued to receive death threats after the attack.

"My son Dhani asked me, 'When is something good going to happen to us?' I said, 'Something good did happen We were dead that night. We are not dead now.'"Abram "owes us a thank you for saving him from the karma of murder," said Mrs Harrison in a separate statement issued over the weekend. The couple were kept alive by "desperation, love of one another and the Grace of God," it said. "My husband was a whisper away from death."Dhani has also spoken out - giving a moving account of how he found his father covered in blood, murmuring "Hare Krisha" as he took what sounded like "a death breath"."I honestly believed he was going to die," says Dhani in his statement, published today "He was so pale I looked into his eyes and saw the pain. Dad kept saying, 'Oh Dhan, oh Dhan.'"Abram, 34, travelled down from his home in Huyton, Merseyside, to attack George Harrison at Friar Park, a Victorian mock-Gothic mansion near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.He believed himself to have been possessed by the Beatles guitarist, and sent by God to kill him.

He gained entrance to the house in the early hours of the morning, despite its extensive security arrangements.Harrison, 57, confronted him on a balcony but was overpowered. Olivia then joined the fight until police arrived, using a brass poker and heavy lamp. "Even as I was swinging," she said, "I was aware and amazed that I was doing so without a drop of malice in my heart." Dhani, 22, who had been summoned to the scene by a housekeeper, "never once regarded Mr Abram with anger, instead experiencing only deep love for his father".Dhani Harrison has chosen to tell his own side of the story by releasing an edited version of the statement that he gave to police before the trial. It was not read out in court but has now been made public."I have always been aware that something could happen to my parents, due to their fame and fortune," he says."I am also aware of past circumstances involving other members of The Beatles." John Lennon was shot dead by an obsessed stalker outside his apartment in New York in December 1980, aged 40.Dhani was summoned to the scene by a housekeeper. He knelt by his father and was "immediately covered in blood". As George was taken away in a stretcher chair, he looked back and said, "I love you Dhan.""My father's spoken words were broken with coughing and spluttering," recalls Dhani. "At the top of the stairs he said, 'Hare Krishna' and he closed his eyes.

At this point he drew a very strange breath, it was deep, and what I would describe as a 'death breath'."His mouth was puckered, his cheeks drawn in and he sucked in his bottom lip. I shouted: 'Dad, dad, you are with me, listen to my voice, it is going to be okay. Stay with me.'"His face was contorted and he had not taken a breath for some seconds, an alarmingly long period As I finished shouting he breathed out and opened his eyes. I have never seen another human being either dead or alive (and I have seen my grandfather in his coffin) look so bad."The Harrisons believe that their attacker deserves medical treatment, said Olivia - but "in the security of a prison".The family believes the verdict was wrong: "When someone thrusts a knife at your heart and fails to kill you only because of some thickly folded sheets of paper in the pocket over your heart, it is not easy to listen to a judge tell a jury that they 'must deliver a verdict of not guilty of attempted murder' when there is no dispute that the crime was intentional."Guilty but Insane would have been more fitting, says Olivia, but such a verdict is not possible under English law."We understand that paranoid schizophrenia is a serious illness requiring medical treatment," she says."However, we do not accept that Mr Abram did not know that what he was doing was wrong.". New age settlements could spring up across Britain after Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott ruled that evicting a tented village would breach the settlers' human rights.

New age settlements could spring up across Britain after Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott ruled that evicting a tented village would breach the settlers' human rights. The landmark case paves the way for other alternative lifestyle groups. Dozens of illegal settlements - many in the West Country and Wales - now hope to become permanent.Permission for 16 wood-framed shelters - called benders - at a site owned by the Kings Hill Collective near Glastonbury in Somerset has been given by Mr Prescott, following its five-year legal battle with Mendip District Council. He has ruled that refusing planning permission would seriously interfere with the community's private and family life which are guaranteed by the new Human Rights Act.Mike Hannis, 34, one of the group's founders, said: "This is an important precedent for a lot of other people doing what we are doing."Tory Councillor Nigel Woollcombe-Adams said: "We have no problem with the people who live at Kings Hill. They are extremely pleasant, highly educated and are keen to integrate into the local community. But the site is on a particularly attractive ridge and is an eyesore."And he said: "The decision could mean that we now get numbers of these campsites appearing across the country.".
