82-Year-Old Man Stabbed to Death in Garden by Neighbour
CCTV showed Julian Donoher stabbing Gerard Ring after psychiatrists said a chronic mental illness and substance misuse contributed to the killing.
Gerard Ring, an 82-year-old great-grandfather, was fatally stabbed in his front garden in Derby on September 6, 2025, and died in hospital three days later.
Julian Donoher attacked Ring with a knife, and Ring suffered five wounds.
Donoher claimed that Ring was a paedophile, but the claim was untrue.
Donoher pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility and received an indefinite hospital order after psychiatrists diagnosed him with chronic mental illness.
