A man has admitted to the manslaughter by diminished responsibility of an 87-year-old mobility scooter rider in a “motiveless” knife attack in west London five days after being released from prison.
Lee Byer, 45, stabbed Thomas O’Halloran in the neck and chest in Greenford in 2022. It can now be reported that Byer had numerous previous convictions and days earlier had been released from Wormwood Scrubs prison in west London.
