As the video interview continues, Detective Ewen Settle asked the accused where Millane's possession were.
The alleged murderer said he had dumped "everything" in a rubbish bin in Auckland's Albert Park.
"Everything that was in the room," he said.
Settle asked: "Presumably her telephone is in her property in the rubbish bin?"
"Yep," the accused replied.
The detective also asked if the accused was currently employed.
"Nah," he said.
"When did you employment end?"
"Friday," the accused said, referring to the day her matched with Millane on the dating app Tinder.
Settle then mentioned he had a text conversation between Millane and her friend Ameena Ashcroft from the night of December 1.
The accused claimed he told Millane he was a sales manager.
However, in Millane's messages to Ashcroft the accused appears to have mentioned he is an oil company executive.
"Me? No," the accused said. "My uncle works in an oil company."
Settle asked: "Which oil company does he work for?"
The accused replied: "I don't know."
After a break, Settle returns to the interview room and asks if Millane had any injuries.
"Did you inflict any injuries on her?"
The accused replies no.
"Did you kill Grace Millane?"
"No," he said.
"[Accused man], you're under arrest for the murder of Grace Millane," Settle says, before reading him his rights.
In the room is also the accused's legal counsel Ian Brookie.
He asked his client if Millane died while she was in his company.
"Yes," he said.
"Did you intend to cause her death?" Brookie continues.
"No."
Brookie also asks why he is telling the police his version of events.
"Because of her family, because I want her family to know that it wasn't intentional but I also want her family to have closure," the accused said.
"Basically so her family understand that it wasn't an intentional thing."
