The victim's body was found three days later
A man who boasted about “killing a police officer” after murdering his neighbour and stabbing another sleeping friend ten times was today jailed for life and will serve a minimum of 35 years behind bars.
Lincoln Crown Court heard Rule’s home had been raided by police in a drugs bust several days earlier and Mr Kirk’s partner believed he wrongly thought they had grassed him up. Mr Kirk was pronounced dead 45 minutes after being stabbed despite the best efforts of officers and paramedics at the scene.Police discovered Mr Kirk lying naked on the kitchen floor.
Mark Stone had been stabbed ten times at an address just over half a mile away in Bowditch Road, Spalding.Mr Cavin said Mr Stone named Rule as his attacker.Mr Stone was saved by life saving surgery and said he previously got on well with Rule as they were both from Kent, had drug problems and had been to prison.
Two knives with bloodstains matching the first victim were found at the initial scene, and a further bloodstained knife was recovered from the murder scene. Mr Richmond said the main aggravating feature was that it occured in the victims’ homes with others present.Mr Richmond said pleading guilty to murder indicated Mr Rule accepted causing the most awful trauma to those involved.
Mr Richmond said there had been problems with his neighbour, Mr Kirk, but he was not deliberately targeted for any particular reason. Mr Justice Picken told Rule that after killing Mr Kirk, for a reason he could not be sure of, he barricaded himself in his flat requiring armed officers to attend the scene.“Your response was to boast you had killed a police officer.”
Rule attempted to swerve a couple of times to pass Pc Odell, but the officer moved in the same direction. He found himself back behind bars for six months in 2019 after he was caught on camera driving while banned in Spalding.Daughter of victim’s post-sentencing statementMr Kirk’s daughter, Alana Kirk, said in a statement that her life felt like it was on hold since he was killed. “I have been waiting for answers and it has consumed everything,” she said.
” I want Wayne Rule to understand what he has done and that being a criminal – taking drugs and doing what he did – can only lead to ruin.
