Round around and sprining away, this is the heartbreaking moment that a young mother tried – but eventually – to avoid the controlling and offensive ex -friend who had threatened to kill her.
Courtney Mitchell was out with two friends when they saw a small drug dealer Logan Burnett, 27, deliberately marching them.
CCTV shows the terrified trio, which together crossed a bridge, breaking in a run in the opposite direction while Logan, dressed in black, absorbs the chase.
Shortly thereafter he pulled Miss Mitchell, 26, and pushed her against a hedge before hit her and then repeatedly poured a long knife into her. One of the strokes was so powerful that it bowed the knife.
Traumatized mother of three Miss Mitchell-Wie witness said that the shouted mammal “Am I am going to die?” – was taken to the hospital where she died.
Further images that have been released show that Burnett waves through Ipswich on the way to the fatal confrontation and again, after the attack, when he is seen bent while he runs past a skate park to prevent them from being seen.
He has now been convicted of murder and imprisoned for life, with a term of office of at least 24 years, after a jury heard how Miss Mitchell had dumped him a month earlier and started seeing another man.
She had moved from Ipswich in Suffolk to Colchester in Essex in an attempt to make a new start, but was back in her hometown on August 6 last year when Jealoer Burnett saw her on the Sir Bobby Robson Bridge over the Orwell River.

Ipswich Crown Court heard how he grinned “What, so she died, yes?” While he was led away.
He later grinned at the camera when his mugshot was admitted to a nearby police station where the criminal, who had 24 previous convictions for 52 violations, including abuse, intimidation, violating limiting orders and criminal damage, moaned about the trial that lasts too long , saying: “I would rather admit it and go back to prison immediately.”
Judge Martyn Levett described the murder as a 'personal execution', and added that the suspect 'had hunted her as if she were your quarry',
Burnett was on the police at the time of the attack on the police because he had gone to Mitchell's new house and radiators had been torn off the walls, which caused extensive water damage. In a Snapchat offer to her sister, he said it was because she “had cheated him and had violated him.”
In the night before the murder, he sent his former partner a hair -raising message warning that he would stab her and her boyfriend and then 'killed her whole family'. He also led a friend that he would be 'famous' after the murder.

But friends said Burnett Miss Mitchell had hit 'in public and private', even before their on-relation ended, so that she was bruising on her 'breasts, ribs and everywhere over her body'.

In a victim impact statement she read to the court, said Miss Mitchell's destroyed mother, Samantha, that her daughter would still live if the authorities had taken the threat he formed more seriously.
'If they had done their work correctly, I believe that my little girl would live today. But they didn't. They abandoned her, “she said.
The father of the 'big -hearted' victim, William Hutchinson, added that he had left a 'massive emptiness' in his life.
“This person not only took my daughter's life, but they also robbed her children of their mummy and made them orphans,” he said.
Detective -Head Inspector Nicola Wallace, by the Suffolk police, said: 'The Suffolk police were dedicated to tackle domestic violence in all forms in our communities, with the aim of such horrible attacks and the impact on victims and families in the future to prevent. “
