The first winner of Mr Gay UK stabbed a man to death before carving a piece of flesh from his thigh, seasoning it and cooking it, a court has heard.

Anthony Morley, who is from Leeds, denies murdering Damian Oldfield in April this year.

A jury at the city's Crown Court has been told six pieces of cooked human flesh were found on a chopping board at 36-year-old Mr Morley's flat.

Morley, who worked as a chef, walked into a nearby takeaway and told staff he had killed someone, Leeds Crown Court was told.

The prosecution alleges the two men had some kind of sexual relationship and engaged in sexual activity before the murder took place. Morley then cut Mr Oldfield's throat and stabbed him several times, the court heard.

The court heard Morley later claimed: "It's this lad, he tried to rape me so I stopped him."

When asked how he stopped him, the jury was told he answered: "I'm a chef, how do you think I stopped him?"

The prosecution said Morley was at least guilty of manslaughter but said the issue in the trial would be over provocation or abnormality of the mind.

The trial continues.
