"After a brief adjournment, defence lawyer Ian Brookie makes his opening address the jury.
"The defence says to you: This is not a murder," he said.
This was a "perfectly ordinary, sexual encounter" between a young couple who had met on Tinder, enjoying each other's company.
The pair got on really well, they went back to his place and they had sex. So far, this is a very ordinary Saturday night.
What sets the night apart, he said, was that Grace died as a result of an act that they had consensually engaged in.
The act was the restriction of her neck."
