25-year-old Katy Rourke was killed after she refused to have sex with her flatmate. Shock, horror, but woman are victims to this abuse for saying no more often than one could even imagine.

Gary Stevensson, 27, admitted to killing the fashion buyer:

I stabbed her. I think it was three times. If it wasn’t her, it would be someone else. I just want to tell the truth for the sake of the family. I lost control we had a disagreement. I started to hit her and I didn’t stop. I just kept goin’ an’ goin and goin.

The hospital lab assistant had shared a flat with the deceased in Glasgow for only two weeks before he killed her.

Her body was found when her friends and manager couldn’t get hold of her and went to her flat – where, despite continued knocking and her car parked outside, there was no answer:

They went out into the back garden and noticed one of the rear windows of the flat was open and a light was on. They thought if a light was on Katy must be in and phoned the police. As the three friends waited they saw two uniformed officers on patrol and explained the situation to them.

The police put a truncheon through a letterbox and noticed that something was blocking the front door. Other police officers arrived and a decision was made to force the front door. They found the doorway blocked by various pieces of furniture. A search was made of the flat and Katy’s naked body was found in her bedroom.

She was dead and had two slash wounds and a smaller puncture wound to her lower back. A large kitchen-type knife was lying on the bed beside the former cruise ship worker’s body.

When police spoke to neighbours one of them mentioned hearing a noise at 5am, which she described a “banging like scaffolding.”

According to Stevenson, the two had been drinking and then had sex. When he later woke her up and asked her to have sex again, she refused because she had work in the morning. He then lost control.

She started fighting back so that’s when I took a knife from the kitchen and used that to make sure she stopped moving, that’s it.

I’ve never been in trouble for violence. But when I did lose control, it just felt like there was nothing to stop me. There were no moral boundaries left in my life.

It has now been revealed by university friends that he had a long history of turning on woman who had turned him down.

Officers found him 80 miles away from the scene having attempted to kill himself – and as they drove him back to Glasgow, he told them that he had no ‘moral boundaries’ and struggled with violent urges.
