Teen admits killing Florida woman in London knife rampage
A teenager has admitted killing a retired Florida teacher and injuring five other people in a stabbing rampage near the British Museum in London
Somali-Norwegian Zakaria Bulhan, 19, pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility in the Aug. 3 slaying of 64-year-old Darlene Horton. He also pleaded guilty to five counts of wounding during a hearing Monday at London's Central Criminal Court.
Police subdued Bulhan with a stun gun after the late-night attack in Russell Square. The incident raised fears of terrorism, but police said it was not considered a terrorist attack.
Prosecutors said Bulhan was suffering an "acute" episode of paranoid schizophrenia at the time.
