المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsAn Afghan migrant has admitted the “frenzied” killing of a dog walker along with stabbing his landlord and a teenage boy, a court heard.
Dawood Safi, a 23-year-old Afghan migrant, was charged with murdering Wayne Broadhurst, and the attempted murder of his landlord Shahzad Farrukh, 45, and a 14-year-old boy, in Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge on October 27, 2025.
On Monday at Southwark Crown Court on the opening day of his trial, Safi pleaded guilty to manslaughter of Mr Broadhurst, via "diminished responsibility" because of his psychotic state.
At a previous hearing he also admitted lesser charges of grievous bodily harm with intent relating to Mr Farrukh and actual bodily harm in relation to the boy.

Jonathan Laidlaw KC, prosecuting, said that in light of reports from four separate medical experts who said Safi was experiencing "an abnormality of mental functioning" at the time of the attacks, they will not pursue the murder charge.
