UK: Mentally ill man sentenced for beheading

A waiter with a history of mental illness was sentenced to life in hospital or prison Monday for cutting off the head of a manager at an English golf club. Jonathan Warg Limani must spend at least 19 years in custody, The Independent reported. A judge told him he would be sent to a secure hospital and transferred to a prison if his mental condition improves. Limani, who had been charged with murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter as a result of diminished responsibility. The victim, Christopher Varian, was Limani\'s supervisor at The Oxfordshire Golf Club in Thame. Police officers, called to the club Aug. 21, 2010, found Limani sitting next to Varian\'s body. Varian had been killed and decapitated with a cheese knife, investigators said. Limani, 33, was born in Albania. He has been involuntarily committed to hospitals in Sweden and Switzerland and diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. He is being held in Broadmoor in Berkshire, the best-known of Britain\'s three high-security psychiatric hospitals.
