Abdul Khan, 27, fatally stabbed Bohdan Vandzhura, 39, in North Harrow, northwest London, in July 2023. Khan, who admitted manslaughter but denies attempted murder, was discharged from a psychiatric hospital two months prior to the incident.
A 27-year-old man, identified as Abdul Khan, has been charged with manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility following the fatal stabbing of Bohdan Vandzhura, a 39-year-old father of two, in North Harrow, northwest London , in July 2023. Khan, who was discharged from a psychiatric hospital two months prior to the incident, allegedly stabbed Mr. Vandzhura, his neighbor, 39 times in the street. The prosecution alleges that Khan, while carrying a large sword, attacked Mr.
Vandzhura from behind, striking him repeatedly. Members of the public attempted to intervene, but Khan continued the assault for 39 seconds before fleeing the scene. He was later arrested and deemed severely mentally ill, leading to his transfer to Broadmoor secure hospital. The court heard that Khan's father, Khalil Khan, has been charged with assisting an offender. It is alleged that he disposed of Khan's bloodied clothing, including his tracksuit and trainers, taken to a lock-up garage owned by his brother. The prosecution asserts that this act was an attempt to conceal evidence. A psychiatrist who worked with Abdul Khan described him as 'one of the most mentally unwell men I have treated in my career'. The trial also revealed a history of violent behavior by Khan. In August 2022, he allegedly attacked Santa Shrestha, striking him repeatedly and claiming that 'voices' in his head instructed him to 'make a corpse of him'. Khan also attacked Mr. Shrestha again six months later in a local shop, stating he only failed to kill him because he didn't have a weapon at the time. Khan's psychological state had raised concerns previously, leading to his detention under the Mental Health Act in May 2023. He was arrested for grabbing a man by the throat and threatening to firebomb a pub. Four days later, he was discharged after his father applied for his release. The trial continues
