Chilling CCTV images have been released of a convicted sex offender who slashed a boy's throat on a bus.
The boy's 16 year-old girlfriend tried to stop Hamid Akhonzada as he 'held his head back and drew a bladed article described as a steak knife across the throat', a court heard. Akhonzada said he heard voices in his head while on the journey 'telling him to stab somebody' - but that he also told a probation officer he left his home that day wanting to “stab” someone.
Chester Crown Court heard on Friday (July 8) how Akhonzada launched the "unprovoked" attack on a bus service in Runcorn on May 8 last year, the Liverpool Echo reports.
