Published 5 days, 13 hours ago
Description
A twenty-two-year-old Afghan refugee, Safi Dawood, accused of a brutal stabbing rampage in London, may never stand trial for murder. Dawood, currently held at Broadmoor Hospital, faces charges of killing one person and attempting to murder two others after the attack last October. He was told he had days to leave his landlords home, leading to the violence. The victim, Wayne Broadhurst, a forty-nine-year-old council worker, suffered around fourteen stab wounds and died at the scene. Dawood arrived in the UK hidden in a lorry five years ago and gained asylum in 2022. A psychiatrist assessed Dawood as unfit to plead or stand trial, with no clear timeline for recovery. The case adjourned until April tenth, with a provisional trial set for July.
