Man who died in knife attack was stabbed 14 times, court told

Safi Dawood faces charges after stabbing Wayne Broadhurst 14 times and injuring two others; the attack occurred days before his planned housing move, prosecutors said.

  • At Westminster Magistrates' Court on October 30, prosecutors said Wayne Broadhurst was stabbed 14 times and died at the scene, with Safi Dawood appearing by videolink.
  • The defendant faces charges including murdering Wayne Broadhurst, attempting to murder Shahzad Farrukh and a 14-year-old boy, and possessing an offensive weapon.
  • Shahzad Farrukh, the landlord, underwent surgery for life-changing injuries and remains hospitalized, while the 14-year-old boy suffered hand injuries and was discharged the same day.
  • Judges set a timetable including a January plea hearing and a July trial next year after Dawood confirmed his identity by videolink from Wandsworth prison at Old Bailey on Monday.
  • Court records note Dawood is an Afghan refugee with leave to stay in the UK until 2027 and he had allegedly been due to leave his Uxbridge accommodation in three days when he carried out the attack.
