A builder who kidnapped, raped and murdered his niece appeared to admit he knew she was dead during a furious WhatsApp row with his wife while on the run from police, a court heard.
Jurors at the Old Bailey were told how 33-year-old Mujahid Arshid had become "sexually fixated" with Barclays bank worker Celine Dookhran.
He is alleged to have enlisted the help of labourer Vincent Tappu to kidnap the 20-year-old and another young woman by bundling them into the boot of his pick-up truck in July last year.
They were said to have been bound and gagged as he drove them to a southwest London home he was renovating, and upon arrival they were raped and had their throats cut.
While the other woman - who cannot legally be identified - was able to escape after tricking her attacker into believing they could be together, the body of Ms Dookhran was stuffed into a chest-high freezer at the empty property between Wimbledon and Kingston.
