Her body was found near a farm in Duckmanton, Derbyshire, while that of Sellers was found dead in fields half a mile away.<\/p>\n<p>Gracie and Sellers were work colleagues at the e-commerce firm Xbite Ltd in Chesterfield, but Sellers was fired from his warehouse job after becoming a &quot;nuisance&quot; to Gracie. She reported him to the police for stalking, which later saw Derbyshire Police investigated over serious failings.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Female teacher who slept with pupil, 12, and gave birth to his baby is jailed<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>For more crime news, click here.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31461110.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/49074707_521911781552291_6969632478499700736_Main.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>She was later found dead from a stab wound to the neck, causing her to suffer from \u201ccatastrophic bleeding\u201d. And now, at an inquest held more than two years after the incident, it was ruled that Sellers unlawfully killed the woman \u2013 while images from inside the scene were made public.<\/p>\n<p>In one photo, a rucksack belonging to Sellers, found on a path near Garcie&apos;s Blue Lodge Farm, was filled with weapons such as a hammer, three giant knives and an axe, and some viagra pills. It also had a handwritten note from Sellers with the words \u201cDon&apos;t Lie\u201d on it. The world \u201clie\u201d was underlined. It is thought that the pair have met outside work on several occasions, but that Gracie called it off shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31461109.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Blood-thirsty-stalkers-two-word-note-found-with-bag-of-weapons-and-viagra-before-killing-victim.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31450233.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/3_ilahytuesmain.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> Death row killer&apos;s surprising final words before being executed for gruesome murder<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Detective Superintendent Darren De\u2019ath said after the inquest: &quot;Put simply, as a force we failed Gracie <span>\u2013 <\/span>and for that I can only offer my own, and the force\u2019s, most sincere apologies. We await any further recommendations that may come from the Coroner and will review these in due course. But I want to be clear that, since Gracie\u2019s death in June 2021, significant work has already been completed to tackle the failures that were identified prior to the inquest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has also, over the last two-and-a-half-years, been significant changes to the ways in which we as a force receive and investigate stalking reports \u2013 as well as how we support and safeguard victims of these crimes. However, none of this seeks to minimise the failings that we have seen in this case and the force fully accepts the failures that were part of this most tragic set of circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><i>For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking <\/i><\/b><b><i>here<\/i><\/b><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/blood-thirsty-killers-two-word-31461085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shocking two-word note left by a killer inside a bag of weapons has been revealed.
