A health trust has apologised “unreservedly” for failings in the case of a 21-year-old student whose body was found in a burnt-out car after she absconded from a mental health ward. How Janet Müller, a German national in her final year at Brighton University, ended up in the boot of a torched Volkswagen Jetta is a mystery. “It’s just the first time it ended that badly,” said Müller, who raised Janet and twin sister, Selina, in Berlin. Her mother said she begged staff to allow Janet home to Germany, or allow her to visit or speak to her. Janet’s mother and sister have settled with the trust after issuing a civil claim under the Human Rights Act.
