Samuel Worth.

Sam had previously been convicted for GBH, possession of neurotics, Class A drug use, and two charges of possession. He was jailed for two years for beating a man half to death with a metal chair. He was high on acid at the time, and thought the man was trying to steal his ears. Sam was clean and sober for over a year, and worked as a barman at The Royal Gunpowder Pub. He was quiet, but good company, and happy to have a job.
On November 11th, Sam went down to the pub's basement to get more food and saw an 'X' drawn onto the floor when he turned around. Suddenly, glass shards flew at him, and Sam yelled for Charlie to come down.
When Charlie saw the cross, he assumed Sam had drawn it while drunk, and reassured Sam it would be alright to admit if he's been drinking, but Sam swore he didn't know anything about it. Charlie tried to clean the marks up, and was beaten to death by The Ghost With The Hammer over it. Since Sam wasn't a Shade, the only thing he saw was a hammer rise by itself and beat his boss to death as Sam was frozen in shock. 
Afterwards, Sam called the police. At first he told the police he was innocent but, presumably unable to believe or properly explain what happened, later changed his plea to guilty. A week later, he attempted self-harm by beating his head against the prison wall until it was bloody, and he had a concussion. He was transferred to a medium-security facility for the criminally insane, where Rory and Stephen questioned him. Sam immediately picked up on the fact that Rory wasn't an officer, and once she spoke to him, he knew that she was the one who was attacked by the Ripper, which gave Stephen an opening to coax Sam into telling them what really happened in the basement before Sam convinces himself he really did kill Charlie. 
Stephen's parting words seem to indicate that he thought it would be unlikely that Sam would be seen as fit to stand trial for the murder, and that he would likely stay in the facility for the rest of his life.
