A drug dealer accused of 'masterminding' the torture and murder of his 'love rival' today claimed the victim's girlfriend sent him a video showing herself dancing naked and asking for sex.
John Belfield, 31, said he responded by sending a screenshot of Demi-Lee Driver's clip to Thomas Campbell - but insisted he 'did not want any trouble'.
Days later 38-year-old Mr Campbell's bloodied body was found bound in extra-strength duct tape and dressed in only a pair of socks in his own home.
Prosecutors claim that Belfield was the 'driving force' behind the deadly ambush in July 2022, fuelled by jealousy over Ms Driver - with whom he has previously been in a relationship - and a desire to steal from the victim.
He 'fled' the country after the killing and his 'right-hand' man was later convicted of murdering Mr Campbell.
