Sepple also smashed her phone and accused her of being a "lesbian" after she looked at a photo of a woman.
After speaking to Sepple, the neighbour then left for an appointment when he promised he would not hurt Ashley.
But the tattooed thug later strangled and stabbed Ashley because she wanted to return home early to Canada.
Lovestruck Mormon Ashley had shared a series of beaming photos on her Facebook as she explored London with Sepple.
The pair were seen hugging outside popular tourist spots in London as she branded him "my bestie".
In pictures shared on January 11, the couple have their arms wrapped around one another near Buckingham Palace and Big Ben in London.
Other pictures shared on January 18 by Jack's mum show Ashley joined the family for a trip to the historic town of Rye in East Sussex.
But things turned sour when "possessive" Sepple quickly showed his darker side, her family claim.
Loved ones told how her sick boyfriend "logged into all her social medias, deleted all her posts and changed all her passwords" so she wouldn't be able to seek help.
Ashley's family previously paid tribute to her “spontaneous, witty, kind personality” and "unforgettable laugh".
They also told how the teen was “fiercely loving and loyal to her family and friends” and touched on her sense of adventure.

- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
