«Breaking News» Body cam footage shows Derbyshire officer subduing killer Martin McDermott moments after murder

This is the terrifying moment a blood-soaked killer was detained by police after 'almost decapitating' his victim in a brutal knife attack.

Dramatic body-cam footage shows Police Constable Richard Edge with his taser directed on crazed Martin McDermott moments after he murdered 44-year-old Leslie Salmon.

Derbyshire Police subsequently described the murder as 'one of the most gruesome investigations' officers had encountered and said McDermott had 'little or no motive' for killing Mr Salmon, other than he wanted to 'parade his head around on a broomstick'.

McDermott had been released from prison just weeks before the attack after serving 16 years of a life sentence for stabbing one woman and holding two more hostage during a police siege in 2001. 

The officer can be heard barking orders at McDermott whose hands are covered in blood as he approaches him in the garden of a bail hostel in Derby in August last year.

With his taser draw, PC Edge yells: 'Stand still, if you make any threats I will taser you.

'Turn around, walk forward, put your hands on that shed, stand still. If you make any threats to myself or others I will taser you, do you understand?'

With his hands shaking with adrenaline, PC Edge adds: 'I've got a red dot on you and I will taser you. Put your arms to the rear. Swanson cuff him.'

McDermott, 60, was detained successfully without the use of force and on Tuesday PC Edge received a bravery award for his actions.

After receiving a call to reports of a stabbing the officer entered the hostel and found Mr Salmon - who he organised medical help for - before searching for the killer.

With his taser draw, PC Edge yells: 'Stand still, if you make any threats I will taser you. 'Turn around, walk forward, put your hands on that shed, stand still. If you make any threats to myself or others I will taser you, do you understand?'

When McDermott was told he had killed Mr Salmon after being arrested, he said 'wa-hey' and 'punched the air in delight' before telling cops 'I am proud of what I have done'.

A court heard how tried to use a broom handle to parade his victim's head in what a detective described at the time as the 'the most gruesome investigation I have led.'

Detective Inspector Gemma Booth, of Derbyshire Police, said: previously 'The lack of remorse McDermott showed when we arrested him was simply shocking.

'When he was first arrested on suspicion of attempted murder at the scene he shouted 'way hey'.'

McDermott was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 25 years at Nottingham Crown Court on February 12.

Sentencing, Judge Gregory Dickinson QC said: 'You told the police you wanted to parade his head around on a pole through the hostel and when the prosecution outlined that element I noticed the wry grin that was on your face.'

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Derbyshire Police Chief Constable Peter Goodman said: 'Nights such as this are a truly humbling experience - showing the incredible work that is done by officers across the county.

'We have seen officers who have dealt with the most difficult and traumatic circumstances - to teams of officers who have worked hard to solve problems in communities - to detectives who have solved some of the most horrific crimes.

'I would like to say an enormous thank you to every officer for the hard work that they do day-in-day-out to keep the people of Derbyshire safe and many congratulations to those who have won awards and been commended tonight.

'Night's like this make me so proud to be the Chief Constable of Derbyshire and serve as a reminder to the level of dedication that our officers and staff show on every day.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
