A REVELLER has described the terrifying moment a man accused of murder brandished a 12-inch knife shouting: “I’ll kill you.”

Rebecca Ferguson was giving evidence at the trial of Tony Wilkinson, who is accused of murdering Neil Hampson, pictured, also known as Bones, at a Southampton house party.

A jury at Winchester Crown Court heard how she had seen the two men on the floor punching each other moments before Mr Hampson was stabbed several times at the flat in Havre Towers in Weston.

She said: “He (Wilkinson) was shouting ‘I’m going to kill you’ and that he wanted his coat.

He was shouting it aggressively and angrily. I was scared.

“I saw him hold a knife.

It was a big one with a funny curved end. That was the first time I saw it.

He was running around like a madman in the dining room with the knife waving around in the air.”

Moments later Wilkinson was pushed out of the front door by his former girlfriend Isla Jarvis, who owned the flat, before Mr Hampson stumbled into the kitchen covered in blood.

Miss Ferguson added: “I asked him (Mr Hampson) if he was all right and he just kept on saying, ‘look what he has done to me’. He was holding his T-shirt away from his body and there was a gash where the knife had been put in. There was blood everywhere at that point.

“He then slid down the wall and I screamed. I said he’s been stabbed and that he needs an ambulance.”

Miss Ferguson and several other party-goers tried to save Mr Hampson’s life, giving him CPR and putting pressure on his injuries to stop the bleeding.

Mr Hampson was taken to Southampton General Hospital where he died of multiple stab wounds around 90 minutes later.

The court heard how 32- year-old Mr Hampson, of Magnolia Road, Merry Oak, had joined around 20 other guests at the flat on International Way after celebrating the 21st birthday of Danielle Gibbon earlier that evening in November 2007.

Wilkinson, 28, of Merrow Avenue, Poole, denies murdering Mr Hampson.

He admitted, in the aftermath of the incident, charges of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, burglary, theft of a car and criminal damage to that vehicle.
