"The fact that he's [now] saying he was mentally ill - why didn't they pick this up before?

"I want his life sentence to stand, that's all I want.

Jenkin was given the indefinite life sentence with a hospital order in May after admitting causing her grievous bodily harm with intent.

Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed that 33-year-old Jenkin has applied for leave to appeal against his sentence.
