CCTV footage captures killer's stabbing attacks
Antonio Tibere was jailed for the "vicious" attacks on members of the public
- Published
Police have released CCTV footage showing the moment a killer stabbed three people in a series of random attacks in Birmingham.
Antonio Tibere was jailed for at least 30 years last week after admitting murdering 35-year-old Krystian Debski, as well as attempting to murder two others.
Tibere's stabbing spree in Handsworth almost exactly a year ago lasted 10 minutes, before he began streaming on Facebook Live, saying: "I will kill anyone who comes across me."
West Midlands Police said he had been arrested by armed officers within 15 minutes of his first attack, still carrying a bloodstained knife.

It said the CCTV footage proved vital evidence as the 25-year-old was jailed at Woolwich Crown Court on 21 December.
Tibere, from Wattville Road, Handsworth, carried out the three attacks shortly after 03:00 GMT on 22 December 2022 on Soho Road.
He was given life with a minimum of 11 years for the attempted murder of a woman, and life with a minimum of eight years and 10 months for the attempted murder of a man.
They will run concurrently with the minimum 30-year sentence for murdering Mr Debski.

The force added Tibere's Facebook Live post had also been crucial evidence along with DNA taken from his knife which linked him to the three victims.
Det Insp Nick Barnes said: "The family of Mr Debski are still coming to terms with the appalling events from 22 December last year. They are finding it difficult to comprehend through the sheer randomness of the attack.
"Although this kind of random attack is rare, it is yet another devastating example of the consequences of carrying knives in public places.
"My thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Debski and the two other victims who will always have to live with what happened on that dreadful night."
