A 17-year-old boy obsessed with TV serial killer Dexter was jailed for 25 years today for murdering his girlfriend who he ferociously stabbed before dismembering her body.
Steven Miles, who was 16 at the time, committed the ‘blood-curdling’ killing of 17-year-old Elizabeth Thomas in his bedroom at the family home in Oxted, Surrey.
Having stabbed her in the head and back, he dismembered her legs and an arm - wrapping the limbs in cling film and placing them in bin bags - and covered her body in a green plastic garden sheet.
The teenage politics student, who had been diagnosed as having an autistic syndrome, used saws and tools from his father’s tree surgeon business to cut up her body.
He told his family that he had an alter ego called Ed who had instructed him to kill someone.
When the defendant’s sister Sophie returned home to the flat about an hour after the murder on January 24 this year, Miles told her: ‘Ed made me do something bad.’
Miles told officers that the instruments he had used were in the wardrobe. Police also found a partially-burned list of all the items he would need for his murder kit, including black bin bags.
The Judge said.
This was a truly gruesome killing ripped from the pages of a hit TV script. The evidence points to the defendant trying to emulate the actions of the character Dexter who he idolised.
‘The case is a sad testament to the perils of how young people can become entrenched in modern TV blockbusters involving violence which shockingly led to a copy-cat killing in real life.’
