Police have been warned of the dangers of approaching a dangerous schizophrenic who is back on the streets just ten years after being locked up indefinitely for killing a WPC.Magdi Elgizouli, 40, who has a deluded hatred of the police, has been granted leave from a secure psychiatric unit four hours a week in preparation for his permanent release.
He is also allowed out a further five hours each month to visit his brother.
He is also allowed out a further five hours each month to visit his brother.
Mental health chiefs say they believe Elgizouli's psychiatric condition has improved significantly since he killed WPC Nina Mackay, and have granted him supervised release to help reintegrate him back into society.
However, police disagree, and an urgent message has been issued under Scotland Yard's 'officer alert system' warning that Elgizouli is a grave threat to officers' safety and should not be approached.
WPC Mackay's father - retired Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Sidney Mackay - has also reacted angrily after belatedly learning that Elgizouli has been given leave from St Bernard's Hospital in Southall, West London.
Jobless drifter Elgizouli stabbed his daughter to death with a seven-and-a-half-inch kitchen knife as the 25-year-old went to arrest him at a flat in Stratford, East London in October 1997.
Moments before her death, WPC Mackay removed the body armour that could have saved her life because the protective vest was hampering her movement.
At the time, Elgizouli was in breach of bail conditions for assaulting a police officer and possessing an offensive weapon, a knife, 11 days earlier.
In April 1998, he was detained indefinitely and ordered to be sent to Rampton maximum security hospital in Nottinghamshire after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
