A dad was killed in his own home in a ‘frenzied’ stabbing by a knifeman he had repeatedly complained to police about. Samuel Opokiti knifed Osagie Harrison Aimiyekagbon to death in an ‘entirely unprovoked’ attack, at the shared house the pair both lived at in Levenshulme.

Mr Aimiyekagbon, known to friends as Harry, suffered about 50 wounds during the ‘dreadful’ attack. Manchester Crown Court heard that Harry, 36, a security officer affectionately known as the ‘dancing doorman’, had called police on at least six occasions after Opokiti made threats to kill him and his young son.

He also told police that he believed Opokiti had mental health problems. But Opokiti remained at the property. Medical experts agreed that the 30-year-old was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the killing.

He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and is expected to remain at Ashworth High Secure Hospital for the ‘foreseeable future’.
