Just before 2am on July 17, 2022, Rebecca Press left a voicemail for her ex boyfriend Ashley Allen who she had broke up with that day. She was in a state of panic and intoxication as she blurted out her confession.
“Ash it’s really bad. It’s really f****** bad. I’ve just stabbed someone and killed them. I’ve just murdered someone, please phone me now. F*** (screams). I’ve just murdered someone”.
Minutes previously, Press had taken a knife from her mother's kitchen drawer and stabbed family friend Marc Ash in the chest near his heart. The single stab wound caused Mr Ash to suffer cardiac arrest and within the hour he was dead. Immediately after the fatal assault, Press went into her mother's bedroom and told her "I have stabbed your f****** best friend".
