David and Gillian travelled to court from the family home in Wickford, Essex, and watched on from the front row of the public gallery during today's hearing. They often stared at the accused, who broke down in tears and was forced to take a break from the dock as evidence was read out. Opening his case at Auckland High Court, prosecutor Robin McCoubrey said the brunette was seen on CCTV kissing the man in a bar and walking hand-in-hand with him to a city-centre hotel where he lived.
Miss Millane had met the man on dating app Tinder, they visited a number of Auckland bars together and she had texted a friend in Britain to say the date was going well, the jury heard. Mr McCoubrey said: 'They were plainly comfortable in one another's company that evening,' referring to security footage that showed them together. There's clear evidence that both parties anticipated sexual activity. The family of murdered British backpacker Grace Millane far right. Mr McCoubrey said the defendant initially admitted meeting Miss Millane, but told police she left him before reaching his apartment.
He changed his story when presented with CCTV showing the pair of them entering the CityLife hotel together, jurors heard. Mr McCoubrey said only two people knew what had happened in the room and one of them was dead. The defendant, in a recorded police interview, gave police a detailed account of how the pair had sex and Miss Millane had taken charge, Mr McCoubrey said. We ended up on the floor and we kept going on the floor,' according to a statement read to the jury by Mr McCoubrey.
He said the sex involved hitting and biting. I crawled back into bed. Initially I thought Grace had left. I woke up the next day and I saw that she was lying on the floor. I saw that she had blood coming from her nose. Grace Millane's pictured family, who flew out to New Zealand to collect the body, previously paid tribute to the talented artist. Mr McCoubrey said that, rather than raising the alarm after Miss Millane died, at am on the night of her death, the defendant searched the internet for the Waitakere Ranges, the area where her body was later found, and the phrase 'the hottest fire'.
Other search terms included 'large bags near me' and 'rigor mortis', the court heard. He added: 'Strangling someone to death with your hands isn't inadvertent. All of the evidence points away from an accident. Mr McCoubrey said that in the hours after Miss Millane died the defendant visited the Porn Hub website where his first search was for a 'very young teen' video.
The year-old also took seven intimate photos of Miss Millane's body and manipulated her to get the shots he wanted, Mr McCoubrey said. By am that morning — Miss Millane's 22nd birthday — the defendant was back on Tinder, Mr McCoubrey said, arranging another date with a second woman while the Briton lay dead on his floor. Miss Millane's body was found in a wooded area near Auckland a week after she was last seen at a hotel in the city centre on December 2. That afternoon, after renting a small car, and buying a large black suitcase, he 'calmly, coldly and methodically' hired a machine called a Rug Doctor to clean his carpet, telling staff at the rental shop it was for a spillage of red wine, jurors were told.
The lawyer said that, at about 4pm, the defendant met the second woman, whose identity is protected, in the trendy Auckland suburb of Ponsonby. They shared 'a couple of drinks', said Mr McCoubrey, and the defendant told the woman a story about someone he may have known who had been jailed for manslaughter after a woman died during rough sex which had 'all gone wrong'.

This, said the prosecutor, showed the alleged killer was 'testing out a version of events that he may later have to rely on. But, said Mr McCoubrey, the woman told police the suspect had appeared calm. He said a pathologist who conducted a post mortem had found a bruise on the left side of her neck and others 'consistent with restraint' on her upper chest and upper arms. Mr McCoubrey said the accused's account given in a police interview did not describe anything 'particularly dangerous'.
