His lawyer told today in the Auckland High Court, that the Grace Millane died accidentally after going to to grow kvælningssex. The 27-year-old has chosen not to comment in court. There is also a disused navneforbud in the case.
Prosecutors, however, considers that he deliberately choked Millane, before he stood with her body. It writes the BBC and The Guardian.
Met over the Peaks
It was told in court that the two had met each other over the datingappen Peaks. After drinking cocktails in some hours, they went together over to the man’s hotel room in the Auckland city centre.
– If the pair had samtykkebaseret sex, and it went wrong, without that it was the intention that it should go wrong, then it’s not murder, said Ron Masfield, the accused defends, in court.

– And that is what the defendant says happened, and that’s it, as you will get to know when the evidence comes forward, continued the defender.
the Defender also said that death by samtykkebaseret choking is rare, but it is dangerous ‘if two people are drunk, inexperienced, and not know each other very well.’
Dug the corpse down
Grace Millanes body was found buried in a trunk eight days after the murder in an area by the mountain range of the Waitakere Ranges, near Auckland.
The defendant told police he ‘panicked’ when he found her dead the morning after their date.
– He has probably not done it right afterwards in fear that no one would believe him, said the defender.

the Defender also used the arguments that Grace Millane had some other injuries besides those which, according to the accused had come during sex, and that the neighbors had not heard anything that would indicate that a quarrel had taken place.
at the same time, had the lawyer picked the testimony of two of Grace Millanes friends, as conceded, that the woman had shown an interest for the BDMS (the abbreviation for the different subgenres, among other things bondage and sadomasochism ed.) and had profiles on the BDMS datingapps.
cross-examination of medical examiner
the Defence had also called medical examiner Dr. Fintan Garavan, who testified for the defendants. He had seen 300 pictures of Grace Millanes body and found no evidence that she would have concluded in any fight or had been attacked. She had no marks on her neck, which indicated that she had tried to pull the accused’s hands away.

But after a cross-examination from the prosecutor, recognized Fintan Garavan, that some of the marks on her torso were consistent with the fact that she had been held fast, and this could explain that she was unable to fight against. At the same time there was also a possibility that the Grace Millane was already unconscious because of the pressure on her neck, which she finally died of, and thus could not make resistance, recognised the doctor.
The accused two pictures of the corpse
It is hard to know what exactly happened between the two in the guest room, since there are only a witness to tell it. The second witness is, as you know, death. But the prosecutor believes that you have to have the accused’s actions after Millanes death in mind.

Investigators have found that the 27-year-old man on the morning after Millanes death had sought in the Waitakere Ranges, where the man later found Millanes equal, as well as ‘the hottest fire’ online. Then he saw the ‘hardcore porn’ and took pictures of the Grace Millanes genitals, while she lay dead on the floor.
On the evening, he took on a new Peaks-date, while Millanes equal were still in the hotel room.
the Trial has lasted three weeks and is still continuing.
