REBEKAH, 32, WAS STABBED 18 TIMES BY VIOLENT THUG

- By ADAM EVERETT

A DAD who donned a bulletproof vest and stabbed his girlfriend to death smiled, clapped and warned her family "I know where yous all live you daft c***s" as he was found guilty of her murder.

Rebekah Campbell died aged 32 after being knifed 27 times inside her own flat at Knowsley Heights in Huyton in April this year.

Her boyfriend Michael Ormandy, who bears a tattoo of the words “The Hitman” across the front of his neck, has been on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of her murder, with the 34-year-old having claimed to be acting in self-defence during the incident.

This came despite the former cage fighter and boxer, of Linacre Road in Litherland, suffering only a single cut to his hand during the altercation, requiring only minor treatment in hospital as a result.

Ms Campbell was meanwhile left covered in blood as she collapsed outside the block of flats, having sustained 18 stab wounds and been slashed a further nine times with a knife.

She was said to have pleaded “get out, go away Mick” as he burst into her home unannounced and brutally attacked her, before asking police officers who rushed to the scene “am I gonna die?” as they fought in vain to save her life.

Only three days earlier, “jealous and possessive” Ormandy had left Rebekah with a black eye after punching her in the face during a night out in Liverpool city centre.

The self-confessed drug-dealer then had sex with another woman at a hotel and told her he was “going to Liverpool to sort something out” hours before the fatal stabbing.

Ormandy went on to call the police in the early hours and chillingly claimed to have a “suicide vest” while threatening to “blow everyone up”. Following his arrest, he went on to remark that his victim “must have stabbed herself”.

Following a two-week trial, Ormandy was unanimously convicted of Ms Campbell's murder by a jury of nine men and three women yesterday.
