Knife Maniac Tried To Circumcise Neighbor To Use Flesh As Prison Food

[andy06shake]

A knife maniac told a jury he was the "foreskin fairy" after they heard how he tried to circumcise his neighbor to use the flesh as prison food. 

Taimoor Khan - who told a court his name was Hitler as he sieg-heiled the sheriff - claimed the governor of Perth Prison had told him to carry out the attack. Khan, 29, faces an order for lifelong restriction after being found guilty of scarring his victim for life during a bizarre trial at Perth Sheriff Court.

He halted proceedings to ask if one of the female jurors would come and sit next to him in the dock, and told a medical expert witness he would like to see her in prison. He also asked for an adjournment to the trial as he wanted to masterbate.

Jurors heard a series of bizarre explanations from Khan for his behaviour, but they took just nine minutes to find him guilty of two separate knife attacks on his neighbor.
 
Khan first attacked his victim in a flat in the Perth's Bridgend, stabbing him and leaving him scarred for life. He then set upon him at the same property six months later, after he had been released on bail.
 
Defending himself, Khan claimed the first attack had been carried out because his mother was a major drug dealer who had commissioned a hit on his victim. The court heard how he struck his victim on the head with a knife during the first incident at a flat in Stormont Street on August 26, 2024.
 
Khan, from Perth, brandished the weapon at the man after assaulting him and the court heard that his victim had been permanently disfigured as a result of the incident. Khan appeared from custody in relation to that attack on January 29, last year, and was released on bail, but went on to attack the man again just weeks later.

Jurors heard how he assaulted his victim again on February 21, by seizing him by the neck and pinning him against the wall. He then struck him on the body with a knife, disfiguring him. He was further convicted of two counts of having a bladed article in a public place.

Khan told the jury that the second attack was carried out because the governor of Perth Prison had asked him to collect foreskins to use as prison food. He said he had wanted to circumcise his victim and told the court he viewed himself as the "foreskin fairy."
 
When he was asked if he was Taimoor Khan by the court clerk, he replied: "No, my name is Hitler as I told you before."
Sheriff William Wood said: "I did notice your Hitler-type salute in court previously." He deferred sentence for reports and for consideration of a lifelong restriction order.
 
Khan, who represented himself during his trial after his previous solicitor withdrew from acting, has a colourful criminal history. In 2019, his GP father and his mother told the court he produced a bow and arrow to tackle an invisible enemy after suffering hallucinations when he took illicit psycho-active drugs.

Dr Jahangir Khan said he ended up brawling with his son Taimoor as the family were left in fear and alarm by his "volatile and unpredictable" behavior. The court was told that Khan became "strange" and started to believe the family home was under attack from strangers in the garden.
 
Khan was found guilty of threatening and abusive behavior as a result of the evidence given by both of his parents at his trial.
 
His mother, Farhat Khan, said: "He was going in and out of the garden. I asked what he was doing because he looked different, strange.
"He said there were people in the back garden and they were ready to attack the house and he was going to protect the house.
"He had a bow and arrow. I told him there wasn't anybody outside. He insisted there were people he could see. I was scared to see him like this. Taimoor was holding his father against the wall."

Asked about his amphetamine use, she said: "He does that when he's taken too much. He had these experiences before when he has taken them before."
Dr Khan said he recognised the symptoms of amphetamine misuse in his son as he had stopped sleeping and eating properly.
 
He said: "There were some signs I began to see which highlighted Taimoor's excessive use of these substances. He had paranoia, delusional thoughts. I was trying to persuade him that what he was saying wasn't true. He was agitated and hyper. "He wasn't in the right frame of mind. The argument moved into the hallway and there was a minor physical altercation.

He had this set idea there were people walking through our garden. I tried to persuade him it was all in his head. I appreciate these hallucinations are very real to him.
"I was angry and frustrated at him. We all felt unsafe because of his behaviour and called the police to ask for assistance in removing him from the house. He had a bow and arrow. He was so volatile and unpredictable."

 
In 2016, Khan was ordered to carry out 105 hours unpaid work after he admitted smashing the door of his family home with an axe. The same court was told he had reacted badly when his parents had thrown him out of the house after discovering he had been taking speed.
 
Sheriff William Wood said: "It is clear from the report that you have experienced some sort of mental disorder, brought about by your misuse of drugs. Everyone who knows you seems to think that when you are not dabbling in drugs you are quite a nice young man."

Where does one even begin with this clown?
 
He sounds completely bonkers.

Like something out of a nightmare rather than real life.

I can identify with the amphetamine problem.

Because that was me in a previous life.

Boiling pots and pans of water, and placing them next to doors that i thought imaginary people were coming through.

Kind of the things that happen when you stay up for a week. 

The fella should have got some help, then again, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Honestly, it's better he's off the streets and locked up.

Someone like that isn't safe around others and clearly needs serious help.

It is clear that, for reasons of the safety of the general public, and due to the fact that this guy reoffended, that the only responsible course of action is to prevent his interaction with the public, at least until his psychosis is resolved permanently.

At the same time, it would only be justice for the victim/s to be compensated, from the assailant but also from government assistance, as far as is reasonably possible.

So many crimes and injuries are committed because society is unable to treat the extremes of human psychology that arise.

Hopefully, for the sake of a better world in the future, there would be funding for adequate medical attention given to psychologies that would be considered 'aberrant' - before such incidents can occur.

I think they will consider a full life order, down to his warped and twisted attacks and views.

But i don't think prison is possibly the best place to house him, given his severe mental health issues.

That being said my bet is they send him to "HMP Shotts," or probably the better option would be the "State Hospital Carstairs," which is a psychiatric secure hospital. 

As far as im aware, his poor victims will be able to seek compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board here in Scotland. 

I agree that many crimes and injuries committed stem from untreated and or poorly supported mental health needs.

But not all extreme behavior is rooted in diagnosable psychology. 

The real moral of the story is don't do drugs, kids.

And thats a prime example of why not, especially where the likes of Speed is concerned.

I had a school friend that took some sort of hallucinogen (I think it was PCP), a single trip, and they were never quite right again after that night. Eventually, a few years later, they committed suicide by jumping off a railway overpass into the path of an oncoming train.

There are many common poisons that can make permanent and irreversible changes to people (even paracetamol/acetaminophen can kill - slowly and painfully). We aren't as robust as many people think. I wish more would take heed.

I wonder whether or not medical intervention or the lack of taking certain types of drugs really would, in the end, prevent these types of mentally ill people from wanting to and actually actioning their desires when what they may lack is empathy and/or compassion for others (?) Attacking others with knives is an up, close and as personal as one can get as I understand from homicide investigators...is there something in that with that type of mental illness, I just don't understand it?

------

"Research indicates that psychopathic traits often precede and contribute to the earlier onset of substance abuse, rather than substance abuse causing psychopathy. 

• Early Initiation: Individuals with psychopathic traits typically begin using substances at a younger age than those without these traits, with early initiation serving as a significant predictor for later addiction. 
  
• Distinct Mechanisms: The relationship is driven by specific factors; impulsive-antisocial traits (Factor 2) are strongly linked to the development of substance use disorders, while callous-unemotional traits modulate neural responses to drug cues, potentially reducing craving but increasing risk-taking. 
  
• Neurobiological Basis: Psychopathy is associated with a hyper-reactive dopamine reward system, which may predispose individuals to seek the heightened stimulation and rewards provided by substances, establishing a causal pathway from personality structure to addictive behavior." (LLM)

In the case of my friend, he was a fairly normal kid, who was just not very risk averse, like some are. So, yeah there could have been some predisposition, but it wasn't out of the ordinary.

The thing is, the personality change was sudden and fairly extreme. He went from a normal schoolkid to someone scarily 'weird'.

- Since I'll never probably release it, I actually started writing a song about it. Never got to writing any structure like chorus or bridge. I imagined it musically as descending minor chord arpeggio's, a bit like "Forever Autumn" but with more dissonance to it - I abandoned it because it either was too derivative, or if I 'bent it' too far, the hook and feel was gone.

Anyway, here's a bit of the lyric:

Acid Rain

Where furnaces glow hungry,
And smoke stacks build the clouds.
Opposition's futile,
Where efficiency's so loud.

The trees are changing colours,
And washing down the drains.
Poisoned by the bitter tears,
The years of acid rain.

A lad who had such promise,
Chemically insane.
Jumped off of a railway bridge,
And kissed a moving train.

His world of twisted phantoms,
The thoughts that became pain.
He knew too well the bitter tears,
The years of acid rain.

I can identify with that.

My best friend of more than 30 years.

With whom i went all the way through primary and secondary school.

Grew up with and ran around in life with, someone who was closer to me than a brother.

Decided to put a belt around his neck, jammed it in a door, sat down, and took his own life.

He was only 35 years old.

All down to cr@ck coc@ine.

And the associated problems/issues using that stuff brings about in life.

Such a waste...

Very tragic outcomes for suicidal tendencies taken to the extreme with the use of drugs or without. Sometimes I feel this type of mental illness speaks more to being too empathetic/compassionate in what may seem as being unable to handle all the ills and cruelty in the world, perhaps exaggerated in one's mind to a point of hopelessness. 

With the knife assailant, as is the anti-social and/or sociopathy/psychopathy side of it here, drug use may or may not have given him the push to do what he did.

It may be that society needs to educate people in all walks of life to not only learn to identify red flags but also report these red flags, but to whom? Nothing seems to be in place except the police doing wellness checks, but are police trained to identify sociopathy, psychopathy, suicidal tendencies? Should it be the responsibility of the police?

Considering that rather a few police officers have been known to tick the sociopath, psychopath box themselves...

The old saying "it takes one to know one" springs to mind. 

Personally i think the police should be there to tackle real criminals and terrorists as opposed to playing at being social workers.

Arguably, though, this person is both of those things... 

Which is not to suggest I don't think they should fund mental health programs appropriately, which they obviously don't.  

But i think it's a safe bet that in this instance, drug use certainly contributed to the man's mental state, in particular amphetamines...

Lots of red flags, even the statements of the guy's parents suggest that was the case.

Well if the parents observed and suffered his violent acts, they did society and him a disservice by not calling the police to perhaps get him the help he needed. They rather seemed to just blame it on the drug use and do nothing further.

Does this have something to do with immigrants not trusting police there?
