A 23-year-old man, Moses Fernandes, is accused of stabbing 71-year-old landlord Terry McFadyen 179 times with a kitchen knife at his home in Norwich, in an attack described as frenzied. The case is reported by multiple outlets, which say the killing involved repeated stab wounds.
Both reports attribute the alleged motive to Fernandes’s stated belief that he was being poisoned by McFadyen. One outlet highlights that Fernandes thought the landlord was poisoning him, presenting the stabbing as linked to a delusional or paranoid perception rather than a dispute or robbery. The accounts emphasize the nature of the attack and the accused’s explanation, though they do not indicate that the victim’s side of events or investigators have reached a different conclusion at this stage.
