A woman accused of killing a friend was caught on CCTV footage hauling a distinctive-looking blue suitcase around which allegedly carried the victim's body, a court has heard. Jemma Mitchell, 38 is on trial for the murder of Mee Kuen Chong, 67 who was found dead with her head decapitated on June 27 last year in Salcombe, Devon.
Her detached skull was later discovered in nearby vegetation several days later, the Mirror reports. Prosecutors claim Mitchell murdered Ms Chong in her home in Wembley, London that the woman shared with her lodger, David Klein, on June 11 and disposed of her corpse in Devon just over a fortnight later.
On Thursday, jurors at the trial, which is taking place at the Old Bailey, observed CCTV clips which showed Ms Chong's last known sighting as she appears to go a leisurely walk down Chaplin Road with Mr Klein, where they lived on June 9. Just before 6.30am on June 11, property developer Mitchell was seen on video walking from her address in Brondesbury Park in Willesden with a large blue suitcase and backpack.
