By Steve Robson PUBLISHED: 13:38 EST, 1 February 2013 | UPDATED: 16:52 EST, 1 February 2013 A paranoid schizophrenic with a history of 'extreme violence' killed an innocent man after stabbing him 17 times with a Samurai sword because he thought the victim was 'reading his thoughts'. Marc Carter, 46, had been placed in a care home on 'trial release' from a secure hospital in Horfield, Bristol, last year when the unprovoked attack took place. He had been drinking cider before he stabbed fellow resident Gino Nelmes, 32, because he believed the father-of-two was 'reading his mind and repeating his thoughts'.
