This video shown to jurors shows the moment police burst into a home to discover a half-naked City banker after he allegedly bludgeoned an escort to death.
Jurors at Lewes Crown Court watched as police officers discovered Zahid Naseem lying on a sofa wearing nothing but a dressing gown as Christina Abbotts lay dead in her bed in the next room.
The West Midlands-born "socialite", who led a party lifestyle in London mixing with "posh" and wealthy friends, was hit 13 times on the head with a pestle on May 25 - the day of her 29th birthday.
Her family and friends thought the "privately educated city girl" and "social media addict" worked in IT.
But the former student of the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester and Oxford Brookes University drop-out was leading a secret life as a high-class escort.
