Paul Hughes will be sentenced on December 12
Michelle Hodgkinson was walking down Edge Lane in Droylsden in June last year when she was brutally attacked by Paul Hughes.
Hughes, 30, is accused of the unlawful act of killing Ms Hodgkinson, and was facing a finding of fact trial at Minshull Street Crown Court after he was found unfit to stand trial. Prosecutors said that whilst Hughes was ‘mentally unwell’ due to a diagnosis of schizophrenia, he appeared to have ‘carefully planned’ the attack.
During that walk he was seen to take a large kitchen knife out of its packaging before discarding the wrapping, and the three other knives, near to a pink plant pot on a garden wall, it was said.
