Lee Byer stabbed 87-year-old Thomas O’Halloran, pictured right, in the neck and chest in Greenford, west London, in August 2022.
It can now be reported that Byer had a string of previous convictions, and days earlier had been released from Wormwood Scrubs.
Yesterday, 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.
