Killer tells victim's family 'do something' in court as he's branded a 'maggot

Michael Ormandy was today unanimously found guilty of murdering his 32-year-old girlfriend, Rebekah Campbell. In a haunting moment during sentencing, he turned to the victim's grieving family and friends and told them "do something" after being branded a "maggot" by the judge.

The Liverpool Crown Court heard how Ormandy repeatedly stabbed Rebekah Campbell during a violent attack. After just a few hours of deliberation, the jury delivered their guilty verdict, bringing some measure of relief to those who had endured weeks of harrowing testimony.

As the judge described Ormandy as a "maggot" for his heinous crime, the killer made an unexpected outburst, addressing the victim's loved ones directly. "Do something," he said, leaving the courtroom in stunned silence.

Rebekah Campbell's family, who had sat through the trial reliving the final moments of her life, expressed both relief and sorrow at the verdict. They've called for a deeper examination of the circumstances surrounding their relationship and the events leading to her death.

Ormandy faces a mandatory life sentence, with a minimum term to be determined at a later hearing. The case has once again highlighted the devastating impact of domestic violence and the urgent need for better support systems for potential victims.
