A teenager accused of killing two sisters in a park told police he was "confused" and "scared" after his arrest, a court has heard.

Danyal Hussein is accused of repeatedly stabbing Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, last June after seeking a "sacrificial deal" with a demon.

The sisters were killed hours after celebrating Ms Henry's birthday in Fryent Country Park, Wembley.

Mr Hussein denies two counts of murder and possessing an offensive weapon.

Jurors were shown CCTV footage of Mr Hussein as he was taken into custody at Wandsworth Police Station on 1 July after he was arrested.

The court heard an officer asked how the 19-year-old, Mr Hussein, from Guy Barnett Grove in Blackheath, south-east London, was feeling.

Mr Hussein replied: "I'm really confused, scared."

Jurors also heard the custody officer in the footage ask Mr Hussein how he got an injury to his hand.

Danyal Hussein could be heard telling the officer he had been "robbed".

The prosecution alleges Mr Hussein suffered the injury during the course of his attack on the sisters.

PC William Lucas was among the officers deployed to arrest Mr Hussein in Blackheath, south-east London, after he was not found at his father's address near Fryent Country Park.

"I immediately recognised the male who opened the door as Danyal Hussein," PC Lucas said.

"I told him he was under arrest on suspicion of murder. I explained to him he had been linked to two murders in Fryent Country Park and gave the date 6 June 2020.

"I noticed he had several cuts to his right hand. I counted three sets of stitches".

He added that Mr Hussein appeared to be "quite calm".

The court was also shown documents taken from Mr Hussein's home, including a hand-written "contract" with "the mighty King Lucifuge Rofocale" in which the signatory promises to kill six women every six months in exchange for winning the Mega Millions Super Jackpot lottery.
