Postman decapitated girlfriend then texted mother pretending to be her

A man has admitted murdering and decapitating his 21-year-old girlfriend before texting her mother pretending to be her. Ewan Methven, 27, murdered Phoenix Spencer-Horn, 21, at home on November 16 last year, after the couple ordered a takeaway to their flat in Glen Lee, East Kilbride. Earlier that day, Methven, who worked as a postman for Royal Mail, had complained to his girlfriend that her waitress shifts made him 'lonely'. The couple had been together for two years and met at a family party, the High Court in Glasgow was told. At around midnight on the Saturday, Methven attacked Miss Spencer-Horn with three knives, stabbing her 20 times, before mutilating her body and severing her head, the court heard. He spent the weekend driving Ms Spencer-Horn's red Corsa, scrolling through her phone and searching for internet pornography, as well as making several attempts to buy cocaine, according to prosecutors. Prosecutor Christopher McKenna said: 'The accused murdered his girlfriend, Phoenix Spencer-Horn, in the top-floor flat they shared. Late on Saturday November 16 he strangled her and stabbed her. He dialled 999, but not until November 18. 'Her mutilated and decapitated body was discovered only on November 18.' The court heard that Miss Spencer-Horn had seen her mother the day before and had been in good spirits at work the day she was murdered. Mr McKenna said: ' The police recovered texts between the accused and Phoenix. He complained of feeling lonely because of the hours she worked and he apologised.' The court heard that a food order was placed around 8pm and Methven 'did not appear to be drunk or under the influence by the delivery driver', however, in a 999 call, he claimed that the murder happened when he had a psychotic episode induced by cocaine, alcohol and steroids. On Tuesday, Methven pleaded guilty to murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice at the High Court in Glasgow.

Phoenix Spencer-Horn: Ewan Methven pleads guilty to murdering and decapitating girlfriend

A man has admitted murdering and decapitating his girlfriend before texting her mum pretending to be her in a bid to cover up his crime. Ewan Methven, 27, killed Phoenix Spencer-Horn, 21, at the home they shared after the couple ordered a takeaway to their flat in East Kilbride's Glen Lee, South Lanarkshire, on 16 November 2024. The High Court in Glasgow heard how Methven, who worked as a postman for Royal Mail, had complained earlier that day his partner's waitress shifts made him "lonely". The couple were said to have been together for two years and met at a family party. At around midnight on 16 November, prosecutors say Methven attacked Ms Spencer-Horn with three knives, stabbing her 20 times, before mutilating her body and severing her head. He then spent the weekend driving Ms Spencer-Horn's red Corsa, scrolling through her phone and searching for internet pornography, as well as making several attempts to buy cocaine.

"Her mutilated and decapitated body was discovered only on November 18." The court heard that Ms Spencer-Horn had seen her mother the day before she was murdered and had been in good spirits at work. Mr McKenna said: "The police recovered texts between the accused and Phoenix, he complained of feeling lonely because of the hours she worked and he apologised." The court heard that a food order was placed around 8pm and Methven "did not appear to be drunk or under the influence by the delivery driver", however, in a 999 call, he claimed that the murder happened when he had a psychotic episode induced by cocaine, alcohol and steroids. Methven pleaded guilty to murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday. He will be sentenced next month. Detective Chief Inspector Susie Cairns said: "My thoughts remain with Phoenix's family and friends as they continue to try to come to terms with what happened. "Methven now faces the consequences of his actions. Violence such as this is never acceptable in our communities, and we will work tirelessly to ensure those responsible are brought to justice."

Minnesota ‘gunman' Vance Boelter's ‘assassination notebook' revealed by cops – as his chilling last ‘war' text emerges

THE chilling notebook detailing the hit list of the alleged Minnesota assassin has been revealed by cops. Vance Boulter, 57, is accused of shooting and killing Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband at their home on Saturday before sending a series of frightening text messages to his family. 9 9 9 Boelter, who is also accused of injuring Senator John Hoffman and his wife in another shooting, allegedly texted his family saying: "Dad went to war last night… I don't wanna say more because I don't wanna implicate anybody." In another chilling message, he reportedly told his wife: "Words are not gonna explain how sorry I am for this situation. There's gonna be some people coming to the house armed and trigger-happy and I don't want you guys around." His disturbing notes, which cops recovered from the crime scene, are believed to have been on him when he carried out the assassinations. Pages contained a list of 45 Democrats and abortion campaigners, and a number of company websites that sell silicone facemasks - like the one he is alleged to have worn during the killing spree. Police clarified on Sunday that Boelter's notes were not "ideological writings" and insisted they were not being treated like a "traditional manifesto." Prior to Boelter's arrest, head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Drew Evans said: "I want to clarify for everybody, this is not a document…that would be like a traditional manifesto that's like a treatise on all kinds of ideologies and writings. "I don't want the public to have the impression that there's this long manifesto that's providing all of this other information and details and then is associated with names." Boelter was arrested near his home in Green Isle on Sunday night after a brief manhunt. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to Hennepin County court records. During the search for the suspect, investigators found a fake police vehicle that Boelter allegedly used to pose as a police officer to carry out the shootings. Inside the car, police found a cache of weapons, including at least three AK-47 assault rifles and a notebook with the names and addresses of other public officials. List of death Named on the list were Senator Amy Klobuchar and "squad member" Rep. Ilhan Omar, reported The Minnesota Star Tribune. Others include Congresswoman Kelly Morrison, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Jeff Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Some doctors who worked for Planned Parenthood were on the list, as well as several abortion clinics, including one that is scheduled to open in Omaha, Nebraska. Former congressman Dean Phillips claimed in an X post that he was on the list as well, writing, "I extend heartfelt gratitude to Minnesota's law enforcement professionals," after Boelter's arrest. "Now, we must take steps to prevent political violence before it's too late." Timeline of Minnesota's shooting Vance Boelter has been arrested for the targeted shootings of Minnesota lawmakers Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman. Below is a timeline of events: Saturday, June 14 2 am - Cops receive a phone call about a shooting at Hoffman's house. Cops call nearby officers to proactively check Hortman's home because it's close by in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. 3:35 am - Police arrive at Hortman's home and find a car that looks like a cop car in her driveway. Officers see the suspect, dressed as a cop and wearing a latex mask, leaving the Hortman's house. Cops exchange gunfire with the suspect, who runs back into the home and leaves out the back door on foot. 7:11 am — A shelter-in-place warning is issued for three miles around Brooklyn Park. 7:35 am - Minnesota Governor Tim Walz posts on social media that he's been briefed on the shootings. 9:30 am - Walz and cops give the first news conference on the shootings and confirm the Hormans' deaths.

Residents in the area are asked to lock their doors and stay in place. 9:30 pm - Boelter is arrested in the woods near his home in Green Isle, Sibley County Night of terror Boelter was named as a suspect on June 14 after shootings were reported at the homes of Hortman and Hoffman. Hortman and her husband, Mark, were pronounced dead at their Brooklyn Park home. The couple's dog, Gilbert, was severely injured in the attack and had to be euthanized. "Her children had to put him down after learning their parents had been murdered," former Minnesota House member Erin Koegel said on X of Hortman's children. "Gilbert wasn't going to survive. Hoffman and his wife Yvette had surgery after suffering multiple gunshot wounds at their residence in Champlin, about nine miles away from the Hortmans. Officials said they are "cautiously optimistic" that the pair will survive what Governor Tim Walz called an "unspeakable tragedy" and a "politically motivated assassination." 9 9 9 The Hoffmans' nephew revealed that the couple had been shot 11 times during the horror attack. He shared in a Facebook post how his aunt Yvette had thrown herself on top of her daughter to protect her. Boelter is scheduled to appear in court on Monday for the charges against him and a federal warrant for "unlawful flight to avoid prosecution." His other charges will soon be upgraded as the state "intends to pursue first-degree murder charges against Boelter," said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty at a news conference. The Department of Justice is also deciding to throw federal charges against Boelter, which, if convicted, could result in the death penalty. 9 9 9
