Man pleads guilty to stabbing death of MMA fighter Jahreau Shepherd

Last year British MMA fighter Jahreau Shepherd was killed during a party for his 30th birthday. Shepherd’s brother Dwight Freeman, 19, has plead guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility. Freeman also plead guilty to wounding another party guest with intent.

Freeman, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, was given a hospital order at the Old Bailey criminal court in London. The court made its ruling after two consultant forensic psychiatrists concluded that Freeman was experiencing paranoid schizophrenia at the time of the killing and that this caused substantial impairment to his ability to understand his conduct (per Planet Radio).
