The court was told he had a number of disturbing videos and images, including one of Ms Armitage lying dead in the bath. Mr Smith said 81 different pieces of Ms Blamires were found in or by the River Aire in Shipley. He sat motionless in the dock as the court heard further gruesome details. "That's part of the magic," he told police, adding he was studying for a PhD in homicide. He also claimed to have eaten raw parts of flesh of Ms Blamires.

The former public schoolboy, who was obsessed with serial killers, admitted to killing Ms Blamires in the flat and dismembering her by hand, while power tools had been used on the other victims.

She was later seen being dragged on the floor by her leg by Griffiths, who had something in his hand, the prosecutor added. Prosecutor Robert Smith told Leeds Crown Court that a caretaker, whose job it was to review closed circuit TV filmed at the apartment block where Griffiths lived, saw Ms Blamires running out of the killer's home with him in pursuit in May this year. "He has never said he regretted his actions or said in even the most perfunctory way he was sorry." "The circumstances of these murders are so wicked and monstrous they leave me in no doubt the defendant should be kept in prison for the rest of his life," said the judge, Justice Peter Openshaw.
