The voice of a twisted wannabe killer has been revealed.
Scorned and obsessed Ellis Dismore detailed his vile murder plan in Snapchat voice messages. The now published files are laced with threats of rape and murder.
“I tell you now i’ll happily do jail time because I will sit in my f***ing jail cell and laugh every single day that I f***ing did what I f***ing did to her”. Those are just some of the words of the master’s degree student who tried to murder a teenager he was previously in an ‘online relationship’ with.
On Wednesday, the 24-year-old was sentenced to 38 years in prison at Teesside Crown Court for a string of child sex offences and attempted murder. Dismore had never met his victim in person before he stabbed them in the chest and back during a “prolonged” attack in Middlesbrough.
While he admitted stabbing the teen, Dismore said he only intended to harm them rather than kill. But a jury saw through his lies and he was found guilty of a total of 10 offences following a trial at Teesside Crown Court.

During the trial, Teesside Crown Court heard how Dismore had used photos of a teenage boy and pretended he was him. Now following sentencing, Cleveland Police has released the sickening Snapchat voice messages he sent before he carried out his attack.
Teesside Live has decided not to publish some of the more graphic and distressing messages.
In one message he says: “l tell you now right you know what I’ll do I’ll make sure that she f***ing gets *****. I tell you now right she’s f***ing dead to me that girl I was f***ing good to her yeah and that’s the f***ing thanks I get.”
He states that the girl will be “f***ing sorry”. He then continues: “On my life right if I die tomorrow I’ll sort her out and I’ll get every f***er from f***ing Pally to sort her out as well and all over f***ing Thorntree and Brambles Farm and f***ing Park End as well.“
‘I don’t care if I get jail’
In one chilling threat, he states that he would get the girl sexually attacked and “stabbed, on my life”.
Dismore then continues to make sickening murder threats: “I don’t even f***ing care if I get jail yeah because I will happily ruin her life I will happily put the knife straight in her heart and spin it around so all the blood pours out. I tell you now I’ll do jail time on my grandad’s life.”
Dismore details his sickening rape plan then continues how he will murder the girl.
CCTV footage
Cleveland Police has also released footage from the day of the attempted murder. CCTV footage shows Dismore, of of Stoneyhurst Avenue, Middlesbrough, entering Wilko in Middlesbrough town centre at 2.11pm and purchasing a knife.
He then re-enters Middlesbrough bus station at 2.29pm and boards a bus to Morrisons in Berwick Hills. Dismore, who is carrying a Wilko bag, then walks from Kelbrook Walk to Premier Road.
Footage shows Dismore’s route along the residential roads and the moment he encounters the victim. Nick Dry, prosecuting, said the victim “recognised” Dismore’s voice as their “former online boyfriend” when he began speaking to the teenager on Premier Road, shortly after 3pm on June 22, last year.
Dashcam footage captures Dismore chasing the victim along the street and her piercing screams. He then stabbed her five times in the back and chest. The footage showed a driver shouting “get off” as a man can be heard saying “I was f****** good to you”.
Police, ambulances and an air ambulance were all called to the area and a police cordon was erected. The court heard that the teen received “a chest drain that potentially saved their life” before an air ambulance took her to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
