that he would never see her alive again the girl went to meet her fate unaware that her 23-year-old chosen one had a dark past at that that time the guy already had eight convictions for 12 different

ban on approaching his mother Jack had no right to approach her or her property for 5 years however in 2018 he violated the court order so he was sent to a juvenile detention center where he spent 8 weeks after that he faced the threat of a 5-year sentence in if he violated the established prohibitions it is noteworthy that Jack never entered into conflicts with men his victims were always women which was easily explained women were weaker and could not fight back unfortunately Ashley had no idea about his dark past so she arrived in the small town of Chelmsford UK on November 12th 2021 to a dangerous criminal who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing over 8 years of online communication she had developed complete trust in her partner so she immediately went to live in his one-bedroom apartment she didn’t even consider staying in a hotel or a rented apartment so blinded by love and Trust she was at first everything was fine the couple traveled to interesting tourist places and local attractions took many photos and posted their happy pictures on their social media Pages the lovers got a kitten which they named Winston and began to take care of it it seemed that Ashley was happy when the girl had video calls with her relatives she said that Jack was very kind sweet attentive and caring the guy tried his best to make such an impression on her however Jack was unemployed had no Ambitions and never had money in this he clearly did not correspond to the image that young Ashley had in her head she quickly realized that the guy was not who he pretended to be and was not suitable for her at all at the same time the girl found herself in in an unenviable position as she could not quickly break up with him and move out it’s worth remembering that she was in his apartment under his round-the-clock supervision and she didn’t even have the opportunity to just run away from him quite quickly the seemingly perfect relationship began to deteriorate Jack became irritated by this and behaved inadequately and aggressively on the nearest Christmas his mental health problems worsened due to an overdose of medications the girl called an ambulance and he was taken to a psychiatric hospital he was diagnosed with narcissistic and paranoid personality disorder returning from the clinic he started manipulating his girlfriend taking advantage of this fact the guy pressured Ashley and they had arguments more and more often Ashley even sent recordings of their fights to her friends some of the guys action sounded really scary the girl’s friends advised her to break up with such an unbalanced person as soon as possible it was difficult for her to communicate with relatives and friends as he changed the passwords to access social networks and Messengers The guy constantly controlled her correspondence later the girl told her relatives that he once hit her on the head but she forgave everything partly because she was under the total control of a tyrant with mental problems the situation was only getting worse realizing that this relationship was fundamentally flawed she Peri per odically saved materials on her phone as evidence of their conflicts in addition to audio recordings of their scandals she repeatedly took pictures of her injuries the numerous bruises that Jack left on her body when the girl was almost ready to leave Jack staged a suicide attempt given the high level of control he had over her he managed to keep her with him again their relationship was going in a downward spiral and it could not end well on February 1st 2022 one of Jack seel’s neighbors heard the girl screaming through the wall going out into the corridor he saw Ashley standing outside the door she was crying and said that her boyfriend was abusing the kitten by throwing it against the wall she was in shock as she had never seen such cruelty in her life after that according to her he attacked the girl and smashed her phone the cause of this Outburst of Rage was a completely insignificant event Jack caught his girlfriend scrolling through a newsfeed on her phone she accidentally looked at photos of a naked girl he accused her of being a pervert and began to vent his anger on her he didn’t listen to her at all and seemed to go crazy with rage literally out of the blue the girl managed to tell her neighbors about this and she also said that she feared for her life because of the guy’s sudden outbursts of aggression however when they came out to talk to Jack Ashley asked them not to call the police police she didn’t want to create problems for the guy they agreed and talked to Jack which helped he really calmed down a bit the guy said that he would not harm anyone his behavior was a mistake but this turned out to be another manipulation on his part after these events the girl told her relatives that she had finally decided to go home she was tired of such a relationship and Jack’s sudden outbursts of Rage they were incredibly happy with this news as they understood that their daughter was in a terrible situation her grandmother immediately booked plane tickets to Canada for February 3rd 2022 however the girl did not live to see that day around noon the next day February 2nd 2022 two of Ashley’s new friends from the Mormon Church in the UK received a message from the girl saying that she had serious problems she asked them to pick her up and gave the address where she was she sent this information from a secondary account signing her name as he controlled everything related to her accounts however none of her friends were able to react quickly as they were at a church service a couple of hours later these friends of Ashley’s were free and received another message already from the main account which said that everything was fine with her and this seemed strange despite the fact that the message was sent from her own number it was completely out of her style which caused legitimate susp suspicion they knew that she was going to move away from the domestic Tyrant and was on the verge for this reason Ashley’s friends decided to check if she was really okay they arrived at the house that their friend had indicated it was Jack’s apartment no one opened the door for them there but it was possible to hear that someone was walking inside after Consulting they decided to call the police so that the officers could check on the girl the friends called the Emergency Services at 911 Law Enforcement Officers arrived around 400 p.m. they tried to persuade the owner of the dwelling to open the door for them but it didn’t work around 4:13 p.m. the door was broken down the officers entered the bedroom and found Jack seel next to whom Ashley lay on the bed the girl was stabbed with a knife with such cruelty that dozens of wounds were found on her body the scene resembled a blood bath the police reported that Medics were needed but calling an ambulance did did not bring results as she showed no signs of Life as a result she was pronounced dead at 4:38 p.m. forensic experts found that the girl had been strangled but the cause of death was the knife wounds experts counted at least 90 blows that the guy inflicted on her defensive wounds were also found on the girl’s wrists obviously she tried to fight off the attacker and fought for her life most of the blows were dealt to the chest area for this reason Ashley had damaged to almost all vital organs including the heart lungs and liver this indicated that he intended to kill the girl inflicting blows in such places numerous bruises were also found on her body and at various stages of healing this indicated that the victim was regularly and methodically beaten even before the police arrived Jack seppel posted their joint photo on his social media profile and left an ominous caption under it mine forever this fully corresponded to the Killer’s mindset many maniacs and serial killers in one way or another felt or described Unity or possession of their victim the police quickly found the murder weapon a knife and sent it for examination DNA samples coincided with the blood of the murdered girl jack seel’s fingerprints were found on the handle of the knife which also gave a complete match during the check there was no one else in the apartment taken together these facts reliable indicated the sadists guilt Jack was arrested initially he did not give any testimony but eventually pleaded guilty on September 7th 2022 this happened after three consecutive interrogations during which the guy did not show any emotion towards his victim a psychiatric examination was to be carried out which confirmed the presence of certain deviations in the murderer but in general recognized him as sane and capable of standing trial the police thoroughly checked the criminal’s mobile phone a recorded video was found on it made around 12:45 p.m. on the day of the crime in the frame Jack is standing in a bloody T-shirt with Ashley’s mutilated body in the background in the video he apologizes to the murdered girl’s sister who he calls Haley however the scoundrel did not send this video in a message which clearly saved another person from a nervous breakdown on October 10th 2022 the trial of the maniac took place here all the evidence of his guilt was presented although no one doubted it the defendant also gave a confession but at the same time did not express any emotions including remorse or repentance one of his ex-girlfriends spoke at the trial and characterized Jack as unpredictable jealous and insecure the prosecution believed that on that day Ashley who was already packing her things and preparing to leave told him about the breakup and put a final point in their unhealthy relationship and this drove him crazy in a fit of rage Jack killed Ashley the murdered girl’s mother and father were devastated by her loss and outraged at the defendant Ashley’s grandfather speaking at the trial blamed himself for being the only one who supported her decision to travel to the UK because he considered this country to be as safe as possible he could not imagine how this journey would turn out Ashley’s grandmother also had a hard time dealing with her involvement in the massacre she bought plane tickets for the third not on February 2nd so that the girl could calmly fly out of the country at night grandmother blamed herself for this and believed that such a delay could indeed have cost Ashley her life the murdered woman’s older sister regretted that Ashley could not be a bridesmaid at her recent wedding Jack took this opportunity away from them but the victim’s family was grateful to the defendant for admitting his guilt and saving them from this difficult trial according to the results of the trial
