Man murders landlord, cuts his dick off, keeps it as a trophy

A man killed his landlord before hacking off his genitals, telling a friend he wanted to keep them as a souvenir, a court was told today.

A Supreme Court jury was this morning told of the bizarre murder scene police discovered in July 2007 at the Inala home of Mater Hospital nurse David Easton.

Michael Stephen Owen-Darcy, 31, who was a boarder at Mr Easton's home, is on trial for his murder.

The jury was this afternoon shown graphic photographs of Mr Easton's mutilated body. He was clutching a knife against his neck and a children’s book, Pussy Cat Pussy Cat, was on his chest.

The jury was told Mr Easton's testicles were found in the kitchen sink and his penis was found wrapped in cling film and placed inside a salt container.
