A man who stabbed his grandparents to death after hearing a voice in his head telling him to "kill them" is to remain in hospital.
Tobyn Salvatore attacked Denis and Mary Fell at their home in Livingston, West Lothian on Boxing Day 2021. The 21 year-old had bought two knives off the internet two months earlier claiming he intended to take his own life.
However, he instead used the blades to kill his 73 year-old grandparents after a row over a Christmas hamper he had taken up to his room. Salvatore had been due to stand trial for murder in July this year.
But, prosecutors accepted his guilty pleas to the reduced charges of culpable homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility at the High Court in Livingston. A hearing took place at the High Court in Glasgow today.
Salvatore was in the dock having been brought from the State Hospital at Carstairs. Judge Lord Young went on to impose compulsion and restriction orders for him to remain there without limit of time as he continues to receive treatment for a mental health disorder.
The previous hearing was told how Salvatore had legally changed his name from Jay Fell in 2016 in tribute to fictional brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries TV series. After the killings, he calmly changed out of his blood soaked clothes, had a bath before going to a police station and confessing: "I have murdered someone - my grandparents."
Officers forced entry to the couple's home and made the grim discoveries. Denis was found lying in the hall with his wife in the living room.
Her severed hand was discovered next to her husband's foot. Salvatore later told psychiatrists he attributed a voice he heard to the "Woman in Black" character from a horror film he had viewed
