CCTV footage has shown a woman who stabbed her mother's neighbour to death walking to and from a pub with him hours before she killed him. Rebecca Press attacked Marc Ash, her mother's 'best friend', with a three-inch knife and left him with fatal injuries, Wales Online reports.
The 31-year-old woman pleaded guilty last week to his murder at Cardiff Crown Court and was subsequently handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 20 years. Press initially denied the crime and claimed she acted out of self defence but the defendant changed her plea during the trial.
Mr Ash was killed on July 17 last year at Press's mother's flat in New Tredegar, Caerphilly. The woman had been drinking and taking Valium the day before and became erratic when her brother Gavin Press said her ex-boyfriend had been seeing another woman.
