A man has been determined by a jury to have carried out the killing of a nine-year-old girl by stabbing her in the heart in broad daylight as she played in the street. .
The jury could not deliver a verdict of guilty or not guilty of murder, due to a trial of the facts not deciding whether Skebas intended to kill, but instead had to make a determination as to whether he physically committed the act of killing. Mrs Justice McGowan DBE is expected to sentence Skebas to a hospital order, the only sentence the court can pass, later on Tuesday.
While a defendant cannot be criminally convicted, the burden of proof for a jury remains beyond all reasonable doubt. In the interview, Skebas admitted: “I grabbed the knife and I stabbed her.” The court previously saw CCTV of a man alleged to be Skebas pacing around Boston town centre on the evening of July 28 last year, having been seen buying a paring knife in the town’s Wilko store two days earlier.
