A tenant brutally stabbed his landlords to death over worries about Covid during the first lockdown
Daniel Briceno Garcia attacked Sonia Butron Calvi, 66, and Edgar Aguilera Daza, 60, at the home they shared with five others in Stockwell, south London.
Police arriving after the attack on April 1 2020 found a “bloodbath” and Tom Little QC, prosecuting, told the Old Bailey he stabbed them repeatedly with a knife in a “brutal and frenzied” attack. Mr Little said: "Witnesses describe that the defendant had become concerned, if not paranoid, about the risk that Covid was going to pose, and was concerned about that in this property.
Mr Aguilera Daza was in a pool of blood in the hall while Ms Butron Calvi was found face down in the kitchen, gripping a knife.
