Manslaughter Verdict in Uxbridge Stabbing Case | London News

Twenty-eight-year-old Dawood Safi has pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility in the fatal stabbing of 49-year-old Wayne Broadhurst, a devoted Liverpool fan whose death has left his family heartbroken. Safi, who was also found guilty of attempting to murder another man, was deemed to be suffering from psychotic delusions at the time of the attack. The case, which began after police responded to a stabbing spree in Uxbridge, saw Safi arrested with a knife and Tasered. A jury couldn’t reach a verdict on a third attempted murder charge involving a teen, though Safi admitted to causing actual harm. Safi is now remanded to a secure hospital, with sentencing set for October fifth. Detective Inspector Richard MacKenzie praised the bravery of the victims and the public’s response, calling the attack a shocking blow to the community.
