Twisted monster
Gary Stevenson, 27, stabbed his flatmate who is a former cruise ship worker
Katy Rourke, 25, three times in a horrific attack in the early hours.
At the High
Court in Glasgow her family sobbed as they heard how he confessed to the
slaying after cops nicked him, saying: “If it wasn’t her, it would be someone
else.” He admitted murdering his
flatmate after she refused to have sex with him. The court heard how the
hospital lab assistant struck at the flatshare where they lived in Govan,
Glasgow, just three weeks after Katy, from Broughty Ferry, Dundee, had moved
in. When she failed to turn up
for work the next day her pals went round to the flat and saw her car parked
outside.
Advocate
depute Bruce Erroch, prosecuting, said: “They went out into the back garden and
noticed one of the rear windows of the flat was open and a light was on. “They
thought if a light was on Katy must be in and phoned the police.” The court
heard how Stevenson fled the flat after shimmying down a drainpipe and ended up
in North Berwick.
He was snared
the following day after he was rushed by ambulance to hospital claiming he’d
slashed his wrists and as they drove him to the station he confessed, saying: I
just want to tell the truth for the sake of the family. He then claimed they
had been drinking and had sex. However, when Stevenson woke up and pestered Katy
for sex again she refused and then he lost control, punching her repeatedly in
the face and putting his hands round her throat. As terrified Katy screamed for
help, Stevenson went into the kitchen, got a knife and stabbed her three times.
He told
police: “She started fighting back so that's when I took a knife from the
kitchen and used that to make sure she stopped moving, that's it. “I've never
been in trouble for violence. But when I did lose control, it just felt like
there was nothing to stop me. There were no moral boundaries left in my life.”
Stevenson
admitted murdering Katy between December 29 and 30, last year. Sentence was
adjourned until next month.
