Savage killer Matthew Farmer faces a life sentence when he returns to court to learn his fate after he was convicted of the murder of his ex-partner.
Ex-doorman Farmer bought a Go Cook paring knife for £1.75 hours before he lay in wait under a large barbecue in her garden and caught Stacey Clay by surprise as she smoked a cigarette near her fence.
Farmer, who was found guilty of her murder after a jury deliberated for just 30 minutes on Thursday, January 20, was filmed in the throes of the bloody and terrifying attack on a CCTV camera Miss Clay had installed for her own safety.
