Chilling voice notes stalker sent to schoolgirl’s family before stabbing her

These are the terrifying voice messages a stalker sent to his 15-year-old victim’s family before repeatedly stabbing her.

Ellis Dismore, 24, had groomed the schoolgirl online before repeatedly stabbing her as she got off the bus in Middlesborough in June 2023.

The victim had told her family about Dismore, who had stalked and made ‘vile threats’ towards her and other underage girls, saying he would ‘rape and stab them’ if they did not send him indecent images.

After the girl’s family went to the police, Dismore sent them a series of chilling voice notes on June 18 threatening to attack the victim, Teesside crown Court heard.

He can be heard saying over Snapchat he will ‘f***ing get her raped and stabbed through the heart’.

He said: ‘I don’t even f***ing care as well if I get f***ing jail, yeah, ’cause I will happily, right, ruin her life. I will happily, yeah, put the knife straight in her heart and spin it around as all the blood pours out.’

In another voice note sent to one of the victim’s parents, he details how he will rape her before stabbing her.

Just three days later, as she got off the school bus, he launched the attack and repeatedly stabbed her only stopped when members of the public rushed in to help.

Footage shows Dismore chasing her along Premier Road as the victim screams out in fear.

He had purchased a knife and other pieces of cutlery from a Wilko store earlier in the day.

When detectives investigated the attempted murder, they found he had committed a further 16 offences on other girls over seven years.

Dismore used fake profiles to pose as a teenager online and pressured his victims to send him indecent pictures.

If they refused, he threatened to share the pictures and even tried to meet his victims in person and entice them into sexual activity.

He was jailed for 43 years for attempted murder and more than 20 other offences against young girls.

Detective Sergeant Andrew Hamilton, from Cleveland Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team said: ‘First and foremost, I would like to commend the bravery of the women and girls who came forward and gave evidence about their traumatic experiences at the hands of Ellis Dismore.

‘It would not have been easy for them and their families’ to have to go through the investigation and court process, and I thank them for both their support and patience during this time.

‘Over a period of seven years, Dismore used fake social media accounts to groom and stalk a number of young girls and enticed them into sending indecent images.

‘He made vile threats towards them and sent sickening voice notes threatening to rape and stab them.

‘He is a dangerous and violent predator and now that he is in prison he can no longer pose a danger to women and girls in our community.’
