An ex-prisoner has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order for killing an elderly mobility scooter rider.

Lee Byer, 45, was psychotic when he stabbed 87-year-old Thomas O’Halloran in Greenford, west London, in August 2022.

Mr O’Halloran, originally from County Clare, was well-known in the Greenford community.

Byer, who had had a string of convictions, was released from Wormwood Scrubs five days before the killing.

Mental health reports found Byer was psychotic, hearing voices, and suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
