Jurors have been shown CCTV footage of Svenson Ong-a-Kwie coming and going from the hostel he was living at.

Mr Aylett adds: "He was no longer wearing the parka-style jacket with the fur-lined hood.

"Instead, he was wearing a light grey jumper with dark stripes and a pair of blue tracksuit trousers that appear to be several sizes too short in the leg.

"This would suggest that Ong-a-Kwie had got rid of the clothes that he had been wearing the night before - and it is certainly the case that the jacket with the fur-lined hood has not been recovered - and that he had borrowed a pair of trousers from someone shorter than him.

"Of note, however, is the fact that Ong-a-Kwie is still wearing a pair of grey Nike Air Max trainers.

"Film from a CCTV camera inside the hostel shows Ong-a-Kwie going to his room and then coming out again - no doubt, to pay the mini-cab driver - in a pair of slippers."

When Ong-a-Kwie comes out again a few minutes later, he has swapped his slippers for a pair of black trainers and he had a drawstring bag with him.

"He was carrying a yellow JD Sports bag that contained something that was similar in size to a pair of trainers," Mr Aylett said.

"Ong-a-Kwie walked off in the direction of Mashiters Hill. When he came back, ten minutes later, he came from the direction of Collier Row Lane and he no longer had the bag with him."

Mr Aylett has just made reference to Mr Petrovic's car which was found abandoned in Elvet Avenue on the night Jodie was stabbed.

Two police officers went to Mr Petrovic's address as they wanted to speak with the owner of the car.

"There was a note attached to the front door," Mr Aylett says. “'Please don’t knock. Ring this number'.

"No doubt, this was to deter people disturbing Mr Petrovic’s mother at all hours of the night.

"Ignoring the note, PC Livermore knocked on the door. Mr Petrovic’s mother, Kata Miskova, came to the window and said that her son was out. She said that she did not know when he would be back.

"It is, of course, perfectly possible that Mrs Miskova had not heard her son coming home."

About an hour after Jodie had been stabbed, Svenson Ong-a-Kwie booked a taxi for him and one of the teenage boys, jurors have been told.

"The mini-cab driver was Adam Tekkol," Mr Aylett says.

"At first, Mr. Tekkol could not remember anything about the fare.

"However, having thought about it, he was then able to tell the police that there had been two passengers.

"They had both got into the back of his cab and they had both been very quiet."

Manuel Petrovic and the other teenage boy made their way to Gidea Park, Mr Aylett added.

Everyone is back in place in Court 8, there are around 20 people in the public gallery this morning.

Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC started this morning by thanking the jury for bearing with him while listening "to one voice" all week.

He picks up from his opening making reference to when the defendants separated after Jodie Chesney had been stabbed in the park on 1 March.

On Monday a panel of 18 jurors were selected and this was whittled down to 14 by the time the prosecution opened the case on Tuesday.

The 12 jurors - plus two 'spares' - heard details from prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC about the night Jodie Chesney was stabbed in the park in the Harold Hill area of Romford in east London.

The 17-year-old girl was caught up in a dispute between drug dealers, according to Mr Aylett who added there was "nothing to suggest that Jodie was involved in the supply of drugs or that she might have upset anyone".

On Wednesday the jury heard more details about the arrests of the four defendants - Manuel Petrovic, Svenson Ong-a-Kwie and two teenage boys who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Yesterday, Mr Aylett spoke about the night of Jodie's murder and said her friends had received a text from Mr-Ong-a-Kwie's "drug phone" advertising a new strain of cannabis known as "Pineapple Express".

Bryce Henderson, 18, would contact Mr Ong-a-Kwie to buy some of this cannabis to be delivered to 'Amy's Park', Mr Aylett said.

However, there was no answer from the "drugs line", and they decided to buy from another dealer.

We are back in the Old Bailey for the fourth day of the Jodie Chesney murder trial.

Yesterday, jurors were told about drugs being delivered to St Neots Road Play Park, known locally as 'Amy's Park', where the 17-year-old was fatally stabbed on 1 March.

Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC is expected to finish his opening speech.

Then Mr Aylett will start to call witnesses in the prosecution's case.

The first witness is Eddie Coyle - Jodie's 18-year-old boyfriend.
