Robert Massey strangled Jacqueline to death before stabbing her and writing insults all over her body with a pen
A man who walked free from court after threatening to set his ex-girlfriend on fire went on to murder her two weeks later.
Prosecutor Andrew Ford KC said two days before his court appearance, Massey had gone to his victim's flat armed with an iron bar and started kicking down the door. He took her bank card before covering Jacqueline in vodka and threatened to set her alight as he fled the address. He started looking through her phone and came across messages which "suggested she had been unfaithful with two other men" - namely Anthony Murphy and Graham Roberts, the latter of whom was his "best friend". Massey later admitted to police that he "saw red" and assaulted Ms Forest when she got out of the shower, grabbing her by the neck and "straddling her" on the bed.
Massey then took a green pen and wrote "my best mate" next to the stab wound before scrawling "slag" on one thigh and the word "baby" on the other. Massey and Ms Forest had been consuming vodka mixed with Fanta beforehand, and he continued to drink in the property after committing the murder. He then started to message Mr Murphy from his own phone at roughly 4.30am, and in a text sent at 6.15am told him: "I'll come for those you love". Massey was witnessed getting out of a cab in Haydock at 6.45am, at which point he returned to the flat and had a nine minute phone call with Mr Murphy.
Massey later dumped Ms Forest's phone in a nearby field. Mr Murphy had met Ms Forest while both were employed at a Sainsbury's store in the area and on one occasion "engaged in sexual activity", during which her boyfriend had arrived home - leading to him escaping out via the balcony in order to remain unseen.
Mr Murphy was rushed to Aintree Hospital and underwent surgery, having lost 20% of his blood. He remained in hospital for a week. He flagged down acab to take him to Mr Roberts' workplace at the end of the East Lancs Road in Norris Green. The pair had known each other around 20 years, but Mr Roberts and Ms Forest had a "one night stand" while she and Massey were split up.
Massey was arrested while walking down Long Lane "sweating and smelling of drink", with blood on his t-shirt. After being arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, he replied: "I hope it was two murders. His previous convictions include a four-year prison sentence in 2018 for swallowing packages of drugs in order to smuggle them into the UK. Massey was released from jail in May 2020.
