THIS is the chilling moment an "excited" teen killer was caught re-enacting the moment he stabbed a man to death as he gloated to girls.
CCTV footage shows twisted Samuel Jones, 16, showing three female friends how he repeatedly slashed helpless Edward Reeve with a knife.
The footage shows Jones in a patterned jumper as he frantically waves his arms while perched on an electric scooter outside a shop shortly after the attack.
Jones and Jack Hindley, also 16, stabbed Mr Reeve eight times in the savage New Years' Eve attack at his home in Christchurch, Dorset, last year.
They left their victim – an amateur musician – to die in agony before meeting up with the three girls at a nearby convenience store.
The sick pair were also caught fist-bumping each other and callously bragging about the savage act.

Hindley then took a call from a friend in prison and both he and Jones boasted to that person about what they had just done.
A court heard it took Mr Reeve up to an hour to die from blood loss caused by the horrific wounds.
His body was found five days after the fatal attack when armed police forced an entry to his home in Christchurch, Dorset,
Tormented Mr Reeve was a vulnerable schizophrenic who struggled with drink and drug addictions.

Two days before the attack Hindley had gone to the victim's house to deal drugs and stole a computer during his visit.
During their trial both of the coward killers tried to blame the other for murder.
But the jury found both guilty and they were jailed for life for a minimum 18-years.
The Honourable Mr Justice Sweeney revealed how Mr Reeve was still alive when his killers left and they "did nothing at all to help him".
He added how getting help would not have saved him and the pair took any incriminating items with them and fled the scene.
Mr Justice Sweeney added: "Edward Reeve was able to get back into the house, and to move around it for a time in and in anguish.
"No more than an hour after the attack, catastrophic bleeding from the combination of all the wounds resulted in his collapse and death.
"Meanwhile, Jack and Sam, who had each put the hood on his top up in the hope of avoiding identification via CCTV and were fist bumping, laughing, and hugging…
"And soon caught up with the three girls and were excitedly bragging to them about what they had done."
