This is the chilling voice of a twisted wannabe killer.
In these harrowing voice messages, attempted murderer Ellis Dismore details his vile plans to kill a teenager he had been in an ‘online relationship with. He would go on to buy two steak knives from Wilko and lie in wait for the pupil before stabbing her five times in the back and chest in a “prolonged” attack.
TeesideLive reports that Cleveland Police have released the sickening messages he sent on Snapchat after he was sentenced to 38 years in prison on Wednesday, January 8 at Teeside Crown Court. A jury had found him guilty of attempted murder following a trial in December 2023.
The 24-year-old of of Stoneyhurst Avenue, Acklam, in Middlesbrough, was also found guilty of:
- having a bladed article
- seven charges of inciting a child into sexual activity
- five charges of distributing an indecent photograph of a child
- two charges of stalking causing fear of violence or serious harm/distress
- four charges of making indecent photographs of a child – (he previously pleaded guilty to another count of making indecent images of a child on 5/8/24)
- four charges of arranging/facilitating the commission of a child sexual offence
- sending an indecent electronic communication with intent to cause stress/anxiety
- causing a child to watch a sexual act
- he had previously pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article on 24/7/23.
In the shocking voice messages, scorned and obsessed Dismore said: “I tell you now I’ll happily do jail time because I will sit in my f***ing jail cell and laugh every single day that I f***ing did what I f***ing did to her”. Dismore had never met the girl before he attacked her, and while he admitted stabbing her he said he only intended to harm, not kill.
During his trial, the court heard the pupil had thought she was in a relationship with a teenage boy called ‘James Wilson’ – but Dismore had set up fake profiles online with other people’s photographs. The court heard Dismore was jealous and controlling over the schoolgirl, and pressured her to send indecent photographs of herself.

In horrifying messages he sent before he attacked her, the master’s degree student said: “l tell you now right you know what I’ll do I’ll make sure that she f***ing gets *****. I tell you now right she’s f***ing dead to me that girl I was f***ing good to her yeah and that’s the f***ing thanks I get.”
He states that the girl will be “f***ing sorry”. He then continues: “On my life right if I die tomorrow I’ll sort her out and I’ll get every f***er from f***ing Pally to sort her out as well and all over f***ing Thorntree and Brambles Farm and f***ing Park End as well.“
He also said he was determined to have the girl sexually assaulted and “stabbed, on my life”.

Dismore continued with his murder threats: “I don’t even f***ing care if I get jail yeah because I will happily ruin her life I will happily put the knife straight in her heart and spin it around so all the blood pours out. I tell you now I’ll do jail time on my grandad’s life.”
He then detailed his rape plan and continues how he planned to take the girl’s life.
Cleveland Police have also released footage from the day of the attack. CCTV images show Dismore stepping into Wilko in Middlesbrough town centre at 2.11pm and buying a knife.

He then re-entered Middlesbrough bus station at 2.29pm and caught a bus to Morrisons in Berwick Hills. He was then seen carrying a Wilko bag walking from Kelbrook Walk to Premier Road. The images show the stalker’s route through residential roads, and the moment he finds his victim.
Prosecutor Nick Dry told the court that the victim “recognised” Dismore’s voice as her “former online boyfriend” when he began to talk to her in Premier Road shortly after 3pm on June 22, 2023.
Dashcam video shows Dismore chasing the teenager down the road and her piercing screams. He subsequently stabbed her five times in the back and chest. The recording showed a driver shouting “get off” while a man is heard saying “I was f****** good to you”.
