Overview

Mujeeb Rahman Hassani, a 41-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia, has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order under the mental health act for the manslaughter of Ibrahim Yassin in Cardiff. Yassin, a 64-year-old widowed father of 11 and a respected community volunteer, was fatally stabbed at his home on 18 February 2024, just three days after Hassani had been discharged from a mental health unit.

Key points
