Chilling moment killer lures mum to her home hours before stabbing her to death in horror murder

THIS is the chilling moment a killer lured her victim to her death.

Evil Birute Klicneliene, 51, brutally murdered 50-year-old mum Dace Kalkerte in her first-floor flat in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

The victim sustained 25 wounds during the frenzied attack on April 15 last year.

Shortly before the killing, CCTV captured the pair chatting as they walked back to the victim's flat together.

They had only met a few hours earlier.

Klicneliene and Dace had been drinking together with their respective partners at an allotment in the town earlier that evening.

Cops were called to the flat in Highgate after midnight on April 16 to discover Dace had been stabbed 16 times and had nine other cuts, including defensive wounds to her right hand.

The fatal blow was a stab wound in the stomach and she sadly died from her wounds shortly after.

Klicneliene initially denied murdering Dace and said she had fallen asleep when the women returned to the flat.

She claimed she initially thought Dace – who was lying on the floor when she woke up - was drunk and it was only when she picked her up that she realised Dace was losing blood.

Klicneliene told detectives she may have touched the blood-stained knife when she moved her and blamed the murder on an unidentified man.

But cops found no evidence of an unidentified person entering the flat.

Today, Klicneliene was caged for a minimum of 18 years for the murder.

Following the sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Chris Burgess said: “Klicneliene used a knife to murder Dace – a woman she had met only a few hours’ earlier and who had invited her into her home – in a sustained and brutal attack.

"She has always denied murdering Dace and we may never know why she inflicted such deliberate and directed violence, but it has no place in our society.

“Mercifully, incidents like this are rare in Norfolk and today, my thoughts remain with Dace’s family who continue to grieve their loss; they have shown incredible bravery throughout this ordeal and I thank them for their support at this very difficult time.

"We will continue to support them for as long as they need us.”
