Caudel Haughton, aged 21, has received an indefinite term in a secure hospital for the manslaughter of 20-year-old Filipe Oliveira. The brutal stabbing occurred on April 15, 2023, outside Oliveira's home, where Haughton approached him and attacked without provocation. Investigators utilized CCTV, eyewitness accounts, and tip-offs to track Haughton's movements leading to his arrest days later. The sentence reflects Haughton's diminished responsibility, and the nature of this crime has deeply impacted Oliveira's family, who have awaited justice for nearly two years.
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn stated, "My thoughts today are with Filipe's family and friends, who have had to wait almost two years for justice."
Haughton was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order, emphasizing the severity of his actions during what was described as an unprovoked attack.
