Gruesome details emerged Thursday in a murder trial that has just begun against Stefano Brizzi, a 50-year-old British social worker and former merchant banker of Italian origins.
    Brizzi, who was said to be "obsessed" with TV serial Breaking Bad stands accused of killing policeman Gordon Semple in early April and dismembering his body and dissolving some of it after meeting him via the gay dating app Grindr. The Guardian reports that prosecutor Crispin Aylett told jurors that Brizzi had told police that he had "tried to dissolve the body...I've killed a police officer".
    Aylett also claimed that Brizzi had said "I killed him last week. I met him on Grindr and I killed him. Satan told me to." He added that jurors would need "strong stomachs" during the hearing. The social worker claims he killed Semple by accident during a drug-fuelled sex game that went wrong in the defendant's home in Southwark, on the southern banks of the Thames. Aylett told jurors how investigators had managed to connect Brizzi to the crime after Semple's disappearance was reported to the police by the 59-year-old Scotland Yard's companion: by the nauseating smell emanating from Brizzi's apartment. The investigators found the victim's corpse cut into parts and put into sacks, some of which had been dissolved in acid in what appears to be an attempt to hide the crime, the court heard. The prosecutor noted that Brizzi was obsessed with the television series Breaking Bad, in which the main character, a crystal meth producer, kills a rival and dissolves his body in acid. Brizzi is a crystal meth user who admitted his out-of-control use had lost him a job at investment bank Morgan Stanley.
