Man with schizophrenia who killed his grandmother admits to murdering his friend
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleLevy admitted to murdering his friend (Metropolitan Police)Daniel Levy, 48, has admitted to murdering his friend, 41-year-old Indian national Abdul Kaleem Shaik, dramatically changing his plea to guilty as his trial was about to open at the Old Bailey. The court heard that Levy stabbed Mr Shaik in the neck at his flat in Vauxhall, south London, around New Year's Eve, before handing himself in at a police station and telling officers "It's happened again." Levy's comment referenced a previous conviction in October 2001 for the manslaughter by diminished responsibility and arson of his grandmother, whom he stabbed and set on fire in July 2000. Levy, who has schizophrenia, claimed he killed Mr Shaik to relieve his friend's severe depression and secure his passage to heaven, describing his actions as akin to assisted suicide. Having been ruled fit to enter his plea after stating he wished to serve his time quietly without a public trial, Levy was remanded in custody by Judge Lynn Tayton KC to be sentenced on 9 September.
