CCTV footage shows a Breaking Bad-obsessed crystal meth addict buying a plastic bin which he allegedly used to dissolve the body of a policeman he met on Grindr.

Satanist Stefano Brizzi, 50, allegedly killed PC Gordon Semple, 59, after organising a drug-fuelled orgy on the gay dating site.

Jurors in his trial were today shown footage of him allegedly shopping for tools to help him dispose of the body, some of which was dissolved in acid and other parts of which may have been eaten, the court has heard.

Images from another camera shows PC Semple shortly before he is thought to have been strangled by Brizzi.

The court heard today that Brizzi had placed a leg in a roasting tin in the oven, and traces of PC Semple's DNA were also found on a set of chopsticks.

A bone believed to belong to the PC was found with a suspected bite mark in a kitchen bin, the prosecutor said.

DNA from the alleged victim was found on the blade of a blender, cooking pot, chopping board and grease in the oven of the Italian's kitchen, the Old Bailey heard.

Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors: 'So, the defendant cannot have confined himself to dismembering Gordon Semple and disposing of his body either by acid in the bath or else in the dustbins.

'Instead, the prosecution suggest it would be open to the jury to find that the defendant cooked part of his body and ate it.'

PC Semple, 59, was on duty when he arranged to meet Brizzi, via Grindr, for 'hot, dirty' sex on the afternoon of April 1.

Following the alleged murder, neighbours on the Peabody Estate in south London noticed a 'revolting smell' coming from Brizzi's flat.

On April 7, Brizzi was described by his neighbour Martin Harris as being 'cool as a cucumber' when he stopped by to inform him police had been called 'because of the stench', the court heard.

Two officers arrived to find bottles of chemicals scattered in the hall and 'blue-green liquid' in the bath with 'flesh-coloured globules floating in the water', Mr Aylett said.

One of the officers looked inside a bin liner on the floor and saw a human hand and part of a spine, the court heard.

The defendant said he had HIV and had been told by Satan to 'kill, kill, kill',the prosecutor said.

Talking to the officers at his flat, Brizzi allegedly said: 'I was talking online about Satan as a fetish - and crystal meth takes me to Satan.

'I am from a Catholic family so when I found I was gay, I found out I was from Satan. I loved crystal meth and wanted to meet someone who talked about Satan.'DNA from the alleged victim was found on the blade of a blender, cooking pot, chopping board and grease in the oven of the Italian's kitchen, the Old Bailey heard.

PC Gordon Semple was invited to Brizzi's flat for sex when he was killed, the court has heard

He explained that he did not like Mr Semple, who had been fat and ugly, the court heard.

Brizzi later allegedly claimed he had disposed of some body parts he had been unable to break up by taking them on his bicycle to a quiet spot by the River Thames.

He allegedly told police he had been unable to dissolve the 'flabbery' bits with chemicals and had tried to flush them down the toilet.

Asked what was still at the flat, Brizzi said there was a foot, hand and leg 'which I tried to roast as well', the court was told.

PC Semple's head was also at the flat but Brizzi flushed the lungs down the toilet, the court heard.
