A twisted knife attacker shocked a Perth court by calling himself the “foreskin fairy” and claiming he tried to circumcise his neighbour to supply flesh for prison meals.
Bizarre Claims and Shocking Behaviour in Court
Taimoor Khan, 29, stunned jurors by insisting his real name was Hitler and performing a Nazi salute in court. He also bizarrely claimed the governor of Perth Prison instructed him to collect foreskins as food for inmates. During his wild trial, Khan:
- Asked if a female juror would sit beside him in the dock
- Told a medical expert he hoped to see her in prison
- Requested a trial adjournment to masturbate
Despite the madness, the jury took just nine minutes to convict Khan of two knife attacks that left his neighbour scarred for life.
Violent Attacks and Troubled Past
Khan first attacked his neighbour at a Perth flat in August 2024, stabbing him in the head with a knife. He launched a second attack six months later while out on bail. Defending himself, Khan bizarrely claimed his mother – a major drug dealer – ordered the hit. Judge Sheriff William Wood noted Khan’s disruptive courtroom antics and deferred sentencing pending reports and consideration of a lifelong restriction order.
Family Reveal Son’s Drug-Fuelled Hallucinations Turned Violent
Khan’s parents told the court he became volatile after taking illicit psychoactive drugs, even wielding a bow and arrow to fight invisible attackers in the family garden.
“He was holding his father against the wall,” said his mother Farhat Khan. “I was scared. He insisted there were people ready to attack the house.”
His GP father Dr Jahangir Khan, described paranoia and delusional thoughts linked to amphetamine misuse. The family called the police, fearing for their safety. Khan also has a criminal record, including smashing his family home door with an axe after being kicked out for drug use. Sheriff Wood summed it up: “You have experienced a mental disorder due to drug misuse. When not using drugs, you can be quite a nice young man.”
