Failed asylum seeker who killed elderly woman in picturesque North Yorkshire village detained indefinitely at a secure hospital
Shahin Darvish-Narenjbon, 34, was befriended by 87-year-old Brenda Blainey after they met in Carluccio's restaurant in Leeds. He then went to live with Ms Blainey in the village of Thornton-le-Dale.
Darvish-Narenjbon then stabbed her in the chest and cut her throat in what has described as an act of "appalling brutality". Three forensic psychiatrists said Darvish-Narenjbon has schizophrenia and his "retained responsibility" for the killing is "low". Darvish-Narenjbon admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at a previous hearing.
