A TEENAGER warned on Facebook he was going to kill — then hours later stabbed a dad to death in a pub, a court heard yesterday.
Leon Ramsden added the text-style message to his profile on the social networking site after rowing with his girlfriend, it was said.
It allegedly read: “Im twisted at home my eds up my a*** feel like killin some1 need to stay of the hard stuff ha f*** it its Saturday ha”.
Ramsden, 19, is also said to have messaged his girlfriend: “Im goin to jail within the next few week — believe me.”
Two hours later he launched an “unexpected and brutal” attack on Paul Gilligan, 31, in a pub — then went clubbing, said prosecutor Guy Gozem QC.
Manchester Crown Court was told the pair were first involved in a “playfight” which became increasingly “edgy” at the Pepper Alley bar in Bolton.
Ramsden walked out, returned moments later and stabbed the father-of-three in the chest and shoulder, Mr Gozem said. He added: “He brought the bottom of his clenched fist in which he was holding the knife down twice.
“It was done so quickly that nobody saw the knife. Onlookers thought that what they had seen had been strange back-handed punches.
“Only once Ramsden had left a second time did the reality sink in — as the blood began to flow from Mr Gilligan’s wounds.”
A witness, his identity protected, said: “I saw Gilly holding his chest and shoulder. He looked proper shocked. Leon started walking towards the door. He carried on shouting and pointing his finger. Then he ran out.”
Ramsden went by cab to a nightspot where he was refused entry — but was detained by bouncers at a second club when they spotted blood on his face and found a knife sheath in his pocket, it was claimed.
Police, tipped off about his Facebook page, then allegedly found the deleted message. Ramsden, of Bolton, denies murder and the case continues.
