Moment bloodied murderer tells police ‘killing people isn’t always a bad thing’ after stabbing his neighbour to death because man’s son had irritated him by loudly revving his motorbike

• Jamie Crosbie, 48, stabbed 41-year-old Dean Allsop 17 times in April last year
• The defendant was found guilty of murdering Mr Allsop in Thorpe St Andrew 
• Crosbie was also found guilty of the wounding with intent of two women

This is the moment a bloodied murderer told police ‘killing people isn’t always a bad thing’ after stabbing his neighbour to death because the man’s son had been revving his motorbike loudly.

Jamie Crosbie, 48, stabbed 41-year-old Dean Allsop 17 times after Mr Allsop’s son Mikey revved the engine of a motorbike they had been working on in April last year, Norwich Crown Court heard.

Andrew Jackson, prosecuting, said that Crosbie told officers who arrested him two minutes later on suspicion of murder: ‘That makes me happy, that’s a good thing, that’s the best news I ever heard.’

The defendant was found guilty of murdering father-of-three Mr Allsop in Thorpe St Andrew, near Norwich, following a three-week trial, Norfolk Police said.

The force said Crosbie was also found guilty of the wounding with intent of two women, Mr Allsop’s partner Louise Newell and friend and neighbour Kerryn Johnson, who had come out to help.

The defendant was found guilty of murdering father-of-three Mr Allsop (above) in Thorpe St Andrew, near Norwich, following a three-week trial, Norfolk Police said

He was cleared of two counts of attempted murder.

Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Phill Gray, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, said: ‘This was a cold-blooded attack by a man intent on causing extreme harm to others.

‘Dean suffered 17 stab wounds to his body, some of which were inflicted when he was lying face-down and motionless.

‘Crosbie’s savage attack didn’t stop there; he stabbed two people who had come to help Dean, one suffering an arterial bleed to her neck.

‘Crosbie is an extremely violent man who has no place in society, and we welcome the jury’s verdict today.’

He said the incident had ‘striking similarities’ to a previous incident in 2018 where Crosbie threatened Mr Allsop with a knife and hammer after Mr Allsop put some rubbish in his wheelie bin.
