Jason Flore convicted of murdering girlfriend at Crawley station

Jason Flore, 26, has been found guilty of murdering his partner, 19-year-old Stephanie Marie, at Crawley train station on August 18, 2024. Flore stabbed Marie in the chest, resulting in fatal injuries, after witnesses reported an argument between the couple just moments before the attack. Despite his claims of innocence and attempts to attribute the stabbing to others, a jury at Hove Crown Court convicted him based on witness testimonies and CCTV evidence. The court heard that Flore attempted to flee the scene, discarding bloodied clothing and making a 999 call in which he falsely claimed Marie had stabbed herself. Following the trial, Flore is set to be sentenced on February 20, 2024. The case highlights issues surrounding domestic violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.
