A woman stabbed her 77-year-old dad in the chest after "The Devil" instructed her to kill him, a court heard. the disturbing background to the killing was heard before Ann Dixon, who turned 49 in January, pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
Dixon, of Moorbridge Lane, Stapleford, will be sentenced at Nottingham Court Court on Thursday morning (April 21), with Judge Gregory Dickinson QC, the Recorder of Nottingham, saying his current view is "it is self-evident there needs to a restriction order (an order under the Mental Health Act)".
Emergency services were called to a property in Moorbridge Lane shortly before 6.20am on Wednesday, March 3 last year, after a man suffered stab wounds. Dixon's father, Raymond Dixon, died of his injuries shortly afterwards.
