'I've just stabbed someone and killed them. I've just murdered someone. Please phone me now. F*** (screams). I've just murdered someone.'
Two emergency response doctors carried out open heart surgery on the father-of-one but his injuries were 'unsurvivable'. He was declared dead at 2am.
Press was staying with her mother Michelle, 53, after splitting from boyfriend Ashley Allen and had just discovered he was cheating on her.
Mr Ash, who lived next door to Press's mother, had been trying to calm the 31-year-old down when she stabbed a knife through his heart.
In the hours leading up to the killing, Press had been drinking at her mother's home in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, south Wales.
She continued her booze-fuelled day, later heading out with Mr Ash to the New Tredegar Rugby Club and the Dynevor Arms.
Footage released by prosecutors today showed Press and Mr Ash walking through the streets together in the afternoon of July 16, before heading back later that evening before midnight.
Upon returning to the flat she arrived at the same time as her brother Gavin Press who told her Mr Allen had been having an affair.

Police and paramedics were called to the murder scene in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, south Wales, at 2am on July 17 last year.
Press tried to escape having left the flat and hid in a bush, telling a passer-by: 'Get me from here, I need to get from here.'
But she was caught by police at 3.15am while walking back to her mother's house.
The killer feigned surprise when she was arrested, telling officers: 'On suspicion of what?... What, has someone died?'
Cardiff Crown Court was told that when officers told her Marc Ash was dead she replied: 'He was my mother's neighbour. What – he's dead? Oh well.'
