A WOMAN who was knifed 14 times cried out “why did you do it?” to the man accused of attacking her before she died, a court has heard.

Jurors at Winchester Crown Court heard Jennifer Williams, who was 25, staggered out into the street after being stabbed at her home in Colehill Crescent on the afternoon of Saturday, June 20 last year.

She then collapsed in front of neighbour Carol Vatcher and Nicholas Langlois, who was attending a child’s birthday party nearby.

Mr Langlois, who rushed to help her, alleged that she told him: “He’s still inside.”

Moments later, the man accused of her murder, 26-year-old Stefan Mayne, is alleged to have run from the house.

Prosecutors claim that Mr Langlois and others tackled Mayne to the ground and held him down.

The court heard that Miss Williams then lifted her head and said to Mayne: “I can’t believe what you’ve done.

“I ******* hate you. Why did you do it?”

Shortly afterwards, she began struggling to breathe and fell silent. She died in the early hours of the following day at Poole Hospital.

Mayne, of Harewood Avenue, is alleged to have said: “I lost my mind. I don’t know what I was doing.”

He denies murder.

On the first day of a trial, prosecutor William Mousley QC said the defendant was a client of Miss Williams’.

The young woman worked as a sex worker and saw customers in her home.

Several days before her death, it is alleged that Mayne used his laptop computer to make a number of searches.

Mr Mousley said: “These were related to Jennifer Williams, to knives, to last-minute flights, to Eurostar and South West Train bookings.”

Police later discovered short videos of women being “attacked, stab and shot” on the defendant’s laptop, Mr Mousley claimed.

On the night before the alleged attack, Mayne, who worked as an assistant manager at Betfred in Boscombe, bought a packet of knives from Tesco Express, it was heard.

He would later tell police that voices in his head told him to buy the three blades, it was said. The following day, Mayne took a bus to Miss Williams’ home after work where he stabbed her, the court heard.

There, prosecutors allege, he stabbed her repeatedly, walking through her blood in his socks to put on clothing and trainers before attempting to leave the property.

When he was arrested, the defendant said he didn’t know his own name and had no recollection of an attack upon Miss Williams, the court heard.

The trial continues.
