He also pleaded guilty to The offences of possession of offensive weapons and assault occasioning actual Bodily Harm relating to a previous attack on A Mother and son in June 2021.
ChaseCCTV footage shown In Court traced Donnelly's movements on That Day of Mr Mann's death.
The two were Neighbours - although they barely knew each other.
The Deceased left his flat at about 11:00 GMT. After being approached by Donnelly, Mr Mann crossed The Road and started running along Church Street , still wearing a motorcycle helmet and being chased by his armed pursuer.
The Chase continued and, at one point, Mr Mann turned round, looked back at Donnelly and appeared to gesture at him before he crossed The Road into oncoming traffic.
The CCTV footage then showed Donnelly catching up with Mr Mann on The pavement outside a Car Dealership .

Members of The Public intervened, pulled Donnelly off Mr Mann and called 999. He was arrested while still being restrained by The Public .
Two large kitchen knifes used by Donnelly were seized from The Scene .
A prosecutor at an earlier hearing said that at The Scene Donnelly shouted it was a revenge attack for his brother who had been murdered The previous evening, which The Lawyer said " transpired to be completely wrong".
Donnelly was admitted to a psychiatric unit - The Shannon Clinic - in The month after The Killing where he remains.
Two consultant psychiatrists agreed that The defendant was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning arising from schizophrenia at The Time of The Attack .
A psychiatrist indicated that he would probably not need to remain for treatment much longer and envisaged him moving to prison.
Donnelly's defence barrister told The Court that his client had not been aware that he was suffering from acute mental illness until after The " terrible act" in which Mr Mann died.
He Said his client has expressed " regret, remorse and heartbreak".
'Senseless attack'PSNI Det Insp Foreman said said The " senseless" attack had happened in The late morning, " when members of The Public were going about their business".
The Detective thanked those who ran to Mr Mann's assistance and who phoned emergency services.
" There are no words that can undo The tragic events of that morning, " he added.
" There's nothing that can ease The Pain and sadness of those Who Knew and loved Aidan, and my thoughts are very much with them today. "
