A LABOURER beat and stabbed a "vulnerable" young man to death before dismembering his body and dumping the remains in bushes. Dajour Jones, 27, killed "defenceless" 20-year-old Jamie Gilbey in a "sustained and vicious" attack before cutting up his body.

The sadistic killer then distributed Jamie's remains in undergrowth at South Norwood Lake and Grounds in South London. Jamie had suffered stab wounds to the soles of his feet, along with severe head injuries. Jones was arrested five days before the body was found on March 8, having refused to tell police where the remains were located.

When subsequently charged with Jamie's murder, he replied: "Ah, cool.". Jones, who refused to attend court, was convicted of murder by a jury at the Old Bailey last week. He was today jailed for life with a minimum term of 27 years at the same court. Jones did not appear in court for the sentencing, instead failing to comply with prison officers at HMP Belmarsh and pretending he was asleep.
During the earlier trial, jurors were told it was a “deeply disturbing” case in which the victim was a “defenceless” man. Jamie was seen alive entering Jones' room at a hostel where they both lived in Upper Norwood on the evening of January 27, 2022.
Simon Dennison KC, prosecuting, said: "Jamie Gilbey was never seen alive again. He didn’t leave that room alive. "The defendant murdered him there in a brutal, sustained, and particularly disturbing attack in which he inflicted multiple blunt force injuries to Jamie’s head, and he stabbed him multiple times with a sharp weapon.".
