The mother of one died from injuries to the chest and abdomen inflicted during the attack at the supermarket. | |
Bradford Crown Court heard it was a "cold-blooded public execution" carried out "for the purpose of revenge". | |
Prosecutor Peter Moulson QC told the court Hord was the ex-partner of Mrs Willsher's mother, Nicole Dinsdale. | |
He said the attack, which was witnessed by many people - including a child, was pre-planned and that Hord had also taken an axe with him to the store. | |
Ms Willsher was stabbed several times before Hord was stopped and restrained by members of the public. | |
Mr Moulson said Hord told police: "Jodie made things very difficult in my and her mother's relationship." | |
He said the defendant admitted putting a tracking device on Ms Willsher's car and had been planning the killing for two weeks, buying a pistol crossbow as an "option weapon" and taking an axe as "back up". |
