A murderer’s chilling phone call has been laid bare after calling her ex to tell them she’d “stabbed someone and killed them”. Leaving her innocent victim in a pool of blood, Rebecca Press, who was under the influence of drink and drugs, left a message on her ex-boyfriend’s phone, saying: ‘Ash, It’s really bad. It’s really f****** bad.”
In the newly released audio footage, Ms Press can be heard also saying: “I’ve just stabbed someone and killed them. I’ve just murdered someone.
“Please phone me now. F*** (screams). I’ve just murdered someone.”
Shortly after stabbing Mr Ash with a three-inch kitchen knife, Mr Press calmly walked into her mother’s bedroom and said: “I have stabbed your f****** best friend”.
In the lead up to the killing, Mr Ash attempted to calm the 31-year-old down when she stabbed a knife through his heart.
Shortly before the murder took place, she had been drinking at her mother’s home in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, South Wales.
