An Afghan refugee has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order after fatally stabbing a dog walker in London.
Dawood Safi, 28, an Afghan refugee working as an Uber driver, has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order after a knife rampage in Uxbridge on 27 October. He fatally stabbed dog walker Wayne Broadhurst, 49, in what the court described as a random, vicious and ferocious attack at Broadhurst's home in Midhurst Gardens. Minutes before killing Broadhurst, Safi had attacked his landlord Shahzad Farrukh, a Thames Valley Police contractor, and a 14-year-old boy with a knife.
Safi pleaded guilty to the attacks. The Daily Mail reports that Safi entered the UK on the back of a lorry and lied about his age. He was acting under psychosis at the time of the attacks.
