Man detained for stabbing dog walker to death

Dawood Safi, 28, an Afghan refugee, has been placed under an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter after fatally stabbing a dog walker and attacking two others in a violent frenzy in west London. The attacks began at Safi's home in Uxbridge on October 27th of the previous year. Prior to the murder of Wayne Broadhurst, 49, Safi had attacked his landlord, Shahzad Farrukh, and a 14-year-old boy.

At Southwark Crown Court, Mrs Justice Cutts acknowledged Safi's psychotic state but left the deportation decision to the Home Secretary.
