<h3><span style="color:#660000;"><em><span style="font-size:1.2em;"><span class="">&#8216;Dempsey Nibbs, 69, </span>decapitated her with a kitchen knife, jurors heard. </span></em><span style="font-size:1.2em;"><em>He then took to the severed head with a mallet and a metal bar before disposing of the pieces in the toilet</em>&#8216; </span></span></h3>

<div class="imageCaption"><span style="font-size:small;"><b>Despite Nibbs claiming he was ‘out of his mind’, there was no evidence that he was suffering from mental illness although he was in poor physical health after being diagnosed with prostate cancer (pictured detectives called to the blood-spattered property in Hoxton, London)</b></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:1.2em;">An elderly crane driver cut off his partner’s head, broke her skull into pieces and flushed the remains down the toilet after she boasted of having sex with other men, a court heard.</span></p>
</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Mother-of-two Judith Nibbs, 60, may have still been alive when her partner of 30 years, <span class="">Dempsey Nibbs, 69, </span>decapitated her with a kitchen knife, jurors heard.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">He then took to the Meals on Wheels worker’s severed head with a mallet and a metal bar before disposing of the pieces in the toilet in the flat they shared in Hoxton, north London.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">The Balfour Beatty worker called police and turned the knife on himself but was stopped from committing suicide by brave officers despite Nibbs wielding a shotgun.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Prosecutor Crispin Aylett, QC, said: ‘Quite why the defendant decapitated Judith and then disposed of her head is not entirely clear but it may well be that he did it out of pure hatred at the sight of his wife’s face.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Nibbs admits killing Ms Nibs on the night between 9 and 12 April 2014 but claims he acted in self-defence during a struggle.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">He later claimed he was ‘out of his mind’ believing Ms Nibbs &#8211; who he shares two children called Kirk and Lauren with &#8211; was a snake and that he needed to cut her head off.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">But there was no evidence Nibbs was suffering from mental illness although he was in poor physical health after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, the Old Bailey heard.</span></div>

<div class="imageCaption"><span style="font-size:small;"><b>Mr Nibbs alledgedly broke her skull into pieces and flushed the remains down the toilet after she boasted of having sex with &#8216;eight men&#8217;</b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">He entered the dock on crutches wearing a dark beanie-style hat and green prison-issue tracksuit.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Mr Aylett told jurors: ‘This, I am sorry to say, is a case that is as terrible as it is tragic.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">By early 2014, the couple’s relationship had soured and Nibbs was suspicious his common law wife was seeing someone else.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Nibbs had moved into the spare room and an ‘undercurrent of violence emerged’ as the relationship fell apart, it was said.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Ms Nibbs, who took Nibbs&#8217; name despite never marrying, told her sister Nibbs had threatened to kill her and grabbed her by the throat, jurors heard.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">During a row on 7 April Ms Nibbs told her partner she had been seeing other men and taunted him saying: ‘I have had sex eight times.’ </span></div>

</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">Jurors were told that before she left work at the Hackney Council-run meal delivery service the following day, Ms Nibbs said: ‘If I’m not in Friday, I might be dead.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘In the event, Judith had every reason to fear for her safety.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">She did not turn up for work, where her colleagues describes her as ‘a loud, happy, joyful person’, after Nibbs attacked her on the night of 10 April.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘What might otherwise have been a family tragedy now becomes terrible,’ Mr Aylett told jurors.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘You will, I am afraid, have to brace yourselves.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘Having attacked his wife, the defendant then took up a kitchen knife and cut off her head.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">The post mortem revealed she may have been still alive, although probably unconscious, when she was decapitated.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘Nor does the horror end there,’ the prosecutor continued.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘Having decapitated his wife, the defendant began to break her head into pieces with a mallet and a metal bar.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘He then flushed the pieces down the lavatory.’</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">The court heard Nibbs intended to kill himself and wrote a suicide note addressed to his son, Kirk, 30.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">He told police they would find ‘a couple of dead bodies’ but was surprised when emergency services arrived minutes later.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘The police officer bent down and looked through the letter box. In the hallway, he could see the decapitated body of Judith Nibbs,’ said the prosecutor.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘The policeman kicked the door in and, once inside, he found the defendant in the bathroom.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:1.2em;">‘The defendant had a shotgun in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. When the defendant saw the officer, he started stabbing himself with the knife.</span></div>
