SCOTLAND – THE man accused of murdering Scots policeman Gordon Semple claimed yesterday that he died by accident during a bondage session.

Stefano Brizzi said he was sitting on top of Gordon, who had a mask over his face, and tightening a leash around his neck.

He claimed Gordon was “extremely excited” but then stopped responding.

Brizzi, 50, said he took the mask off Gordon’s face and realised he wasn’t breathing.

“He was completely un-responsive,” he told the Old Bailey. “I started to panic.

“It was an accident. Gordon died in a state of erotic bliss.”

Brizzi agreed to meet stranger Gordon on gay dating app Grindr in April.

He said they agreed on a “safe word” – red – if Gordon wanted to stop the session, but the officer never used it.

Brizzi denies strangling Gordon, 59, but admits dismembering and trying to dispose of his body at his south London flat.

The court has heard he dissolved some remains in acid and may have eaten other parts. Gordon’s DNA was found in the oven.

Italian Brizzi previously told police Satan had ordered him to “kill, kill, kill”. He also said he had been addicted to crystal meth since 2013.

The trial continues.
