Revenge beast is jailed for 28 years

A MAN who stabbed his neighbour in a “merciless act of vengeance” over a petty dispute has been jailed for 28 years.

Satellite TV engineer Trevor Gibbon, 48, armed himself with two knives before ambushing Alison Morrison, 45, from behind as she walked to work last December.

He stabbed her 40 times the day after he was given a restraining order, having pleaded guilty to harassing Mrs Morrison.

As she lay dying in the street, Mrs Morrison, a Which? senior manager, told residents who had rushed to help her: “Trevor Gibbon did this to me.”

Gibbon fled in his Mercedes but was arrested 100 miles away. As he was arrested, he said: “It was over a neighbour dispute."

Gibbon denied murder but admitted the killing on the basis he was “suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning”. But an Old Bailey jury found him guilty of murder.

Mrs Morrison’s husband Cedric said: “Alison’s death will always be beyond my comprehension because she died for nothing in the cruellest way possible.”

Sentencing Gibbon, of Harrow, north London, judge Timothy Pontius said: “This brutal murder robbed a close-knit family of a devoted and caring wife, mother, sister and aunt.”
