A Richmond man has been found guilty of murder after police body cameras caught his victim saying his killer's name in his dying breaths.

Police said that the murder “was motivated by jealousy” and that the killer was “determined to avenge his bruised ego” after being convinced that the victim was seeing the same partner as him.

Tim Hipperson named ‘Olly’ as the man who stabbed him at around 3.45pm on May 17, 2021 to the first officers on scene.

A friend of Tim’s had arranged to purchase drugs from Oliver Muldowney earlier in the day.

The pair travelled to Peldon Passage to buy the drugs where they were met by Jonathan David Nash.

Nash returned to Muldowney after the deal while Tim and his friend headed down an alleyway to consume the drugs.

It is reported that Muldowney then made a comment to Tim suggesting that he may have been seeing a woman that he was also in a long-term relationship with.

Muldowney then stabbed Tim repeatedly with the fatal blow landing in the left axilla, under the shoulder joint.

Tim then struggled his way along Kings Road after the attack where members of the public tried to help him by giving first aid and calling the emergency services.

He was rushed to hospital where he later died from his injuries on May 20, 2021.

Muldowney and Nash fled the scene to an address where a taxi was phoned so that Muldowney could escape.

When police searched this location, they found Muldowney’s phone wrapped in tinfoil and hidden away in a black shoebox containing children’s toys.

Later that evening, Muldowney offered Tim’s friend who witnessed the murder, drugs and money to leave the area, but instead he decided to help police with their investigation.

On May 21, 2021, officers found Muldowney at a hotel in Reading and Nash was arrested on the same day.

Oliver Muldowney, 35, of Richmond was found guilty of murder on July 1 following a trial at the Old Bailey.

He had also pleaded guilty to being connected with the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Jonathan David Nash, 36, of Feltham was also found guilty of two counts of being concerned with the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Detective Inspector Maria Green, who led the investigation said: “My thoughts are with Tim’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

“Tim may have had struggles in life but he has always been a much loved son, brother and friend.

“In the immediate aftermath of the attack, as he stumbled onto King’s Road, he was able to name the man who had stabbed him.

“He said ‘Olly’ and this was captured on the body worn video of one of the first officers on the scene.

“Within days Oliver Muldowney was arrested and charged despite his attempts to evade justice.

“Muldowney was motivated by jealousy and Tim Hipperson paid the price for that jealousy with his life.

“Muldowney was convinced his partner was seeing other men, with Tim being one of them.

“Determined to avenge his bruised ego, Muldowney killed Tim in an alleyway.

“He then attempted to bribe Tim’s friend, who was a witness to the attack, with drugs and money but it didn’t work.

“He did the right thing and spoke up for his friend.”

A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police said: “A man has been convicted of murder after Tim Hipperson named his killer with his dying breath.

“Oliver Muldowney, 35, (02.08.86) of Richmond was found guilty of murder on Friday, 1 July following a trial at the Old Bailey.

“He had earlier pleaded guilty to being concerned with the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

“Another man, Jonathan David Nash, 36 (11.03.86) of Feltham was found guilty of two counts of being concerned with the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

“They will be sentenced at a later date.

“The court heard that police captured the moment that Tim Hipperson named ‘Olly’ as the man who stabbed him at about 15:45hrs on 17 May 2021.

“Tim had made his way along King’s Road following the attack where members of the public attempted to give first aid and called emergency services.

“Earlier in the evening, a friend had arranged to purchase drugs from Muldowney for Tim and himself.

“Tim and the friend travelled to Peldon Passage to meet Muldowney to buy the drugs.

“When Tim and his friend arrived at the location they were met by Nash and the deal took place. Nash then headed back to where Muldowney was waiting.

“Muldowney made his way to the alleyway where Tim and his friend had remained to take the drugs they had just bought.

“Muldowney then is believed to have made a comment to Tim suggesting that he believed he had been having a relationship with a woman that Muldowney had also been in a long-term relationship with.

“Muldowney then stabbed Tim multiple time, the fatal blow being to the left axilla.

“Following the attack, Tim was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries on 20 May 2021."
