Uber Driver’s Violent Rampage Ends in Guilty Verdict | London News

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

A 28-year-old Uber driver, Dawood Safi, has been found guilty of attempting to murder his landlord after a violent rampage that also claimed the life of a dog walker and injured a teenager. Safi, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter on diminished responsibility due to psychosis—reportedly hearing voices and consumed by paranoia—stabbed his landlord 14 times in a frenzied, unprovoked attack. He also attacked a 14-year-old boy and was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. Mental health experts confirmed he suffered a complete mental collapse, while prosecutors suggested he may have targeted his landlord believing he could help due to his law enforcement ties. The jury is still deliberating on the attempted murder charge against the teen. The trial continues as more charges are considered.
