CHILLING CCTV footage shows hardened criminal Lee Byer wearing blood-stained gloves and holding a knife after stabbing to death an OAP in his mobility scooter.
Just five days earlier, Byer had been released from prison after serving a 12-year sentence for leading a robbery gang.
Yesterday the 45-year-old who was suffering from paranoia and delusions admitted the manslaughter of much-loved Thomas O'Halloran, 87.
Thomas was found on his scooter with multiple stab wounds on August 16, 2022. Byer was seen on CCTV heading towards a passageway at the same time as Thomas. Later, Byer was seen with the knife in Greenford, West London.
He was then caught on camera depositing a knife handle in a drain.
