Chef Morley, 36, repeatedly stabbed Damian Oldfield and slit his throat before carving off pieces of his leg and chest.

He then seasoned some of the leg meat with herbs, fried it in olive oil and chewed a chunk.

A jury at Leeds Crown Court was told Morley was naked apart from a white towelling dressing gown and flip flops when he walked to the Desi Khan takeaway on Roundhay Road. He later told police he had killed a man who tried to rape him.

Forensic scientist Valerie Tomlinson told the court there were dried blood flakes on the dressing gown collar and on the armpit area of the right arm.

She said: "From my findings it would appear likely it was put on by somebody who had blood staining already on their hands."

The court heard their were four small cuts on the left hand side of the gown and a two-foot long vertical cut down the left hand side front.

Prosecutor Richard Mansell asked her: "Did you form a view as to how recently these cuts were?"

Miss Tomlinson replied: "They did appear to be recent. The edges were very clean and sharply cut."

Defence counsel Robert Smith QC asked Miss Tomlinson: "When you went into the kitchen, was the knife and the cleaver or wide chopping knife still there?"

Miss Tomlinson said: "Yes."

Mr Smith asked: "Could the cuts to the towel (dressing gown) have been caused by the knife in the first of these photographs."

Miss Tomlinson replied: "In my opinion it was a very sharp knife. In my opinion it could be a possible implement, but I couldn't say any further."

Mr Smith asked: "And it's quite plain the deceased man had his throat cut and had received multiple stab wounds to the back and flesh cut from sections of his body?"

Miss Tomlinson said: "Yes."

Mr Smith asked: "Does it strongly suggest from a scientific point of view that the dressing gown was not worn when the man's throat was cut and knives were being wielded to inflict injuries to the back?"

Miss Tomlinson replied: "There is no blood distribution that I would expect if that was the case."

Pieces of skin, flesh, muscle and a nipple were discovered under Mr Oldfield's naked body when it was found by police on the floor of Morley's bedroom in Bexley Place, Harehills, Leeds in the early hours of April 24.

Mr Oldfield's was examined and over 50 injuries, were discovered including more than 30 stab wounds including one which went through his left lung and into his heart.

Trained chef Morley - the first winner of Mr Gay UK in 1993 - had cooked a meal for Mr Oldfield, from Bramley, before the two men went to the bedroom where sexual activity took place.

The jury has heard chunks of cooked human flesh found on a chopping board appeared to be rare or raw.

Morley told police Mr Oldfield had tried to rape him.

Mr Oldfield worked on the male escort section selling advertising for Bent magazine for a company called All Points North.

Morley's defence team say he did kill Mr Oldfield before cooking a part of his leg and chewing it. The jury has been told the issue in the trial is over provocation or abnormality of the mind.

Morley denies murder.
