Was it right to imprison a man in his eighties to give the victims justice, or should it not have been done because someone who doesn't know what's happening won't know where they are or why, so won't be able to be rehabilitated (which is what our society says imprisonment is for)?

It's just incorrect, like a burglar being referred to as a murderer when they are not.

Hardly rocket science if they're fit to serve a normal custodial sentence they do, if they're not then they go to somewhere like Ashworth.
I'm perplexed as to why you think the onset of a mental health condition negates his prior criminal activities ?
