Warped David Sinders brutally stabbed to death Dwayne MacLeay, 28, and Gary MacKay, 35, at a flat in Inverness on May 28 2020.
The 25 year-old also knifed Kimberley Nicholson, 27, on the stomach and shoulder.
Police soon arrived at the grim scene and when Sinders asked if the men were dead, he added: "I hope so."
Sinders - originally from Latvia - had been deemed in February last year to be unfit to stand trial.
It had been concluded he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
An examination of facts hearing instead took place at the High Court in Glasgow to look at the circumstances of the attacks and Sinders mental state at the time.
Advocate depute Leanne McQuillan read a joint minute - facts agreed between the prosecution and the defence.
She told how Dwayne lived in the flat across the landing from Sinders in Balloan Road, Inverness.
Miss McQuillan: "In the period prior to May 28 2020, several witnesses were aware of Sinders saying or doing things which they found to be strange."
This included stating to Gary MacKay one night: "You're dead."
On the night of the killings, Sinders was in Dwayne's home with others.
Gary later turned up and Sinders suddenly accused the man of punching him.
Kimberley Nicholson then also arrived and found Sinders sitting on the bed with the two other men on the couch.
As she then washed dishes, Kimberley heard someone yell: "David, stop it."
She was next confronted in the kitchen by Sinders, who stabbed her on the shoulder then in the stomach.
Miss McQuillan: "This caused her to fall to the floor. He then left the flat and did not speak to her at all."
Kimberley managed to make her way
