Accused told operator ‘I have murdered my entire family’ after stabbings

A FATHER told a police operator, “I have murdered my entire family”, after stabbing his two children, their mother and her brother to death, a court heard yesterday.

Former taxi driver Neil Crampton, 36, knifed 12-year-old Abigail, Steven, aged five, their mother Olufunke Sobo, 36, and her brother Yemi Sobo, 41, in November 2006.

Newcastle Crown Court heard how he told police about the killings at the Sobo family home in Hawthorn Gardens, Kenton, Newcastle, in a 999 call.
