‘ACT OF WICKEDNESS’

At the sentencing, Judge Adele Williams told Stimpson, ‘You have a narcissistic personality trait and I am sure you are not suffering from a personality disorder.’

Confirming the killing was premeditated, she said, ‘This was an act of wickedness. You took away Molly’s life quite deliberately in the most vicious fashion…

‘You spent time stalking her in the gym and then you lay in wait for her in the carpark, waiting until she got into her car so that she was trapped when you got in and launched your attack.

‘You intended to kill her. You were determined to punish her for finishing the relationship with you. You were seeking revenge.’
