(Middlesex, England) A 41-year-old Pakistani cab driver illegally in the UK, Mohammed Habib, has been sentenced to detention for life after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of a wealthy businessman.
A Muslim minicab driver Mohammed Habib, 41, attacked 58-year-old entrepreneur Ahmed Shah near his home after blinding him with red chilli powder and covered him with diesel.Judge Richard Hone put Habib away under the Mental Health Act with no time limit.
The killer was arrested in Edinburgh a month later after police launched a nationwide manhunt.
Habib, who came to the UK from Pakistan in 1996, claimed Mr Shah was persecuting him by exposing his false claims to be an Afghan refugee.
Psychiatrists have since diagnosed him as suffering from paranoid psychosis.
Habib, of Southall, Middlesex, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility.
One of these days I'd like to see homicidal barbarians, who sneak into the country, treated as murdering scum without psychiatric evaluations in accordance with a Let's Get Real Act. Killers like Habib deserve no special consideration.
As far as being paranoid, I disagree. Habib had real reasons for thinking people were out to get him. He was illegally in the UK and he was pulling a scam on the government. Fear of being exposed was based on reality, not imagination.
