It was ultimately decided that Tony would go to live in New York City with his maternal grandma, Nini.
Nene was 88 years old and had recently broken her hip.
She herself required round-the-clock care.
So this was possibly the worst decision they could have made.
And we can be as incredulous as we want.
It was approved by the UK and the US authorities.
I'm shocked.
And not only that, Nini lived in a tiny New York apartment that was barely big enough for the two of them under normal circumstances.
Still, that's where Tony wanted to be.
He told everyone once he was out that he wanted to look after Nini like a good grandson would.
And Nini, she'd been left heartbroken after her daughter Barbara's death, but somehow she still adored Tony and saw him as her innocent blue-eyed boy.
She didn't blame him for what happened.
She loved him just as much.
There's a lot of delusion.
I mean, Barbara came from somewhere.
Yeah.
There's no one doing a house visit before... Nini, what the fuck are you thinking?
In fact, he was a ticking time bomb.
And on the 27th of July, 1980, just six days after Tony's release from Broadmoor, the bomb exploded.
Nini's nurse, Lena Richards, arrived at the house at around 9am to find a frantic Tony screaming for her to get help because he had just stabbed his grandmother.
