Hours before the murder, Davis told medical staff and paramedics that he would kill a stranger if he was not admitted to hospital.
The family of a grandmother who was stabbed to death by a stranger described her killer as a “brutal monster” as he was jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years., 74, as she walked home through Ludwell Valley Park in the Wonford area of Exeter , Devon, on the afternoon of February 18 last year.
He was arrested on suspicion of murder, telling police: “I f***** warned you c****, that’s why I f****** done it. I didn’t want to but none of you f****** c**** listened.”Davis pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility but was convicted of murder following a trial at Exeter Crown Court.
The judge described how Mrs England, a grandmother-of-four and mother-of-two, had bravely tried to defend herself as Davis stabbed her neck and chest, but died a short time later.After killing Mrs England, Davis “sauntered” away, discarding the knife and Mrs England’s phone before going to pubs, drinking and taking cocaine until his mother refused to transfer him more money, the judge said.
He was assessed by two psychiatrists on January 28, who both decided he did not need to be sectioned. In victim personal statements read to the court, Mrs England’s family described her as a devoted family member who kept physically and mentally fit and active.Lorna England “Lorna had so much to live for and because of your uncontrollable temper and rage, Cameron Davis, Lorna is now gone forever.”
