Jealous boyfriend, 49, stabbed lover, 22, to death after he was dumped by her mum

A JEALOUS killer was found guilty of murdering his young lover after being dumped her and her mum today.

Jason Farrell is facing life behind bars after he tied up and stabbed Sammy-Lee Lodwig, 22, in a "merciless" attack, in Swansea, South Wales.

A court heard 49-year-old Farrell had been in a long-term relationship with Sammy-Lee's mother Sarah before the pair had split up.

Farrell then began a sexual relationship with her daughter who he had known since she was a young schoolgirl.

But jealous 6ft Farrell then attacked her mother's new man - before turning his rage onto her 5ft 1in daughter Sammy-Lee.

He tied her up to stab her face and throat before writing a confession letter to police.

Farrell told officers in hospital: "F*** me that girl didn't deserve to die like that - I have known her all my life."

Farrell then spent an hour writing a confession to killing Sammy-Lee, which was filmed by police wearing body-cameras.

Prosecutor Michael Jones said Farrell “brutally, mercilessly, and repeatedly stabbed her to death” in his basement flat.

He then knocked on a neighbour's flat telling them: "I killed her."

Mr Jones QC described Farrell as a “dangerous and violent man” who resorts to “extreme violence” when it suits him.

After his arrest Farrell asked police for a pen and paper - and wrote a confession saying he tied up Sammy-Lee to repeatedly stabbed her in the face and throat. He then signed the confession.

Mr Jones said: "This is a chilling document.

"This account was subsequently supported by forensic evidence."

The court heard Farrell and Sammy-Lee were in a relationship at the time of her death after he was "previously been in a relationship with her mother, Sarah."

Mr Jones said he believed Christopher Maher was Sarah Lodwig’s new partner - and that he beat him up due to jealousy.

Swansea Crown Court heard Farrell rekindled an on/off relationship” with Sarah Lodwig after being released from prison for stabbing a man in 2015.

But the pair later split - and Farrell attacked Mr Maher with a wooden pole.

Police and paramedics forced their way into the flat in Mount Pleasant, Swansea, on April 23 and found Sammy Lee's bloodied body under a duvet.

Beside the bed was a kitchen knife with blood on the handle.

Farrell, of Swansea, denied murder saying he had been "institutionalised" and desensitised to violence after years in prison.

But he was found guilty of murdering Sammy-Lee and causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Christopher Maher.

The judge, Mr Justice Lewis, told Farrell he will be jailed for life when he is sentenced on Friday.
