Can Arslan, who stabbed his neighbour Matthew Boorman to death in a long-running dispute over anti-social behaviour, has been found guilty of murder.

Arslan, 52, attacked Mr Boorman with a knife, stabbing him 27 times on his front lawn in Walton Cardiff, Gloucestershire, in October.

His trial heard that Arslan acted like “the star of his own horror film”.

He had denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
