A killer has admitted stabbing a man to death in the West End of Newcastle.
Yasim Ismael knifed Beimnet Gebreab, 49, to death in Arthur's Hill, on November 14 last year. Ismael was due to stand trial for murder next week but he denied that offence and pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and also admitted having a bladed article on the same date.
Prosecutors have accepted that plea and Newcastle Crown Court heard Ismael, 37, of Dilston Road, Newcastle, is waiting to be transferred to a secure hospital for psychiatric assessment.
