Sydney Adult Entertainment: Man used white paint to cover up prostitute’s murder, Sydney court told
March 11, 2010
JUST hours after stabbing a prostitute to death in his lounge room, a man painted over her blood stains with white paint, a Sydney jury has been told.
Michael Robert Potts has pleaded not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court to the murder of Kings Cross sex worker Emma King in 2008.
In his opening address, crown prosecutor Terry Thorpe said police found Ms King’s naked body hidden under Potts’ bed.
Potts, 44, shook uncontrollably and his bottom lip quivered as the jury was told Ms King had been stabbed twice, with one wound extending from her lower chest to her liver and another between her shoulder blades.
Mr Thorpe said the jury would hear that Ms King was then stripped naked, dragged into Potts’ bedroom, hidden under his bed and concealed by various items.
