A man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of an 87-year-old who was fatally stabbed while riding a mobility scooter in west London.
Lee Byer stabbed Thomas O’Halloran in the neck and chest in Greenford in August 2022.
On Monday, the 45-year-old, of no fixed address, denied murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter by diminished responsibility and having an offensive weapon.
Prosecutor Gareth Patterson KC accepted the pleas after mental health reports found Byer was psychotic, hearing voices, suffering from paranoid delusions and paranoid schizophrenia.
