Moment knife-wielding killer chases sufferer earlier than screaming ‘die, die, die’ throughout horror stabbing in broad daylight
Chilling footage shows the moment a knife-wielding killer chases his victim at full speed, moments before shouting ‘die, die, die’ and stabbing him to death in broad daylight.
Dellan Charles can be seen sprinting after Sean O’Neill in Hayes, west London.
The 23-year-old then cornered Mr O’Neill, 30, and used two knives to inflict multiple stab wounds on him while shouting ‘die, die, die’.
Mr O’Neill died in the quiet residential street, having suffered fatal injuries to his chest and abdomen.
CCTV captured Charles trespassing ‘calmly’ through various back gardens as he made an escape after the murder.
Charles managed to stay on the run and evade police for almost a year after he disposed of the knife near the scene of the attack.

But he was eventually caught in a manhunt that tracked him to nearly 100 miles away in Coventry.
On Monday, Charles was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 23 years after having been convicted of murder in December.
Charles killed Mr O’Neill on May 18, 2023, following an altercation between two rival groups, Kingston Crown Court heard.
Mr O’Neill’s family said in a statement: ‘Sean will be remembered for his big heart, charming smile and fun-loving personality.
‘He is incredibly loved by us all and we miss him every day.’

Police this year offered £10,000 for information related to the murder and released an image of Charles, the prime suspect.
Within a day, officers received a call which led them to the killer.
Detective Inspector Kevin Martin said: ‘Myself and the team once again pay tribute to Sean’s family who, throughout this distressing time, have shown real strength and togetherness.
‘Heartbreakingly, nothing will ever bring Sean back but today the man responsible for taking him away from his much-loved family has been forced to face the reality of his malicious actions.’
