A Bradford man who stabbed his neighbour to death in a frenzied attack with a kitchen knife has been detained under the Mental Health Act.

Dominique Chainey, 32, inflicted five wounds on Wasim Dad in his flat in Woodview Terrace, Manningham, on May 13, 2001.

Mr Dad, 37, a soft drinks delivery driver, died of massive haemorrhaging before the emergency services arrived.

Chainey denied murdering Mr Dad and was cleared on the direction of the judge at Leeds Crown Court.

But the jury convicted him of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

During the trial the court heard that Chainey believed he was being "zapped" by electronic charges from Mr Dad's mobile phone.

Chainey, a paranoid schizophrenic, had delusions that Mr Dad and other neighbours were brainwashing him with psychoelectronics. He told the police they were interrupting his nervous system and disturbing his sleep patterns every night.

Chainey told the jury that he now accepted that these were delusions but that he really had suffered from loud music late at night and banging from Mr Dad's flat.

He told how the two men fought in the flat and he grabbed the kitchen knife before Mr Dad could seize hold of it.

He said he reached over his victim's back and stabbed him twice and he recalled inflicting one wound to his chest.

Mr Justice Butterfield told Chainey: "At the time you took the life of Wasim Dad, it is quite obvious you were seriously ill but it is equally obvious that your conduct that day went far beyond any question of self defence.

"You remain unwell and, accordingly, I am satisfied, as I must be under the Mental Health Act, that you are suffering from a mental illness of such nature that you need to be detained in hospital for medical treatment."

The judge said it was appropriate to make a hospital restriction order under the act. He added that Chainey would not be released before it was considered safe.
