<p class="story-body__introduction">A 50-year-old Italian national accused of murdering a UK policeman has said his attempt to dissolve the officer&#8217;s body in an acid bath was inspired by TV show Breaking Bad.<br />
Stefano Brizzi, is accused of strangling veteran London metropolitan police officer Gordon Semple, 59, before dismembering him.<br />
Brizzi, on trial at the London&#8217;s famous Old Bailey was accused by prosecutors of &#8220;living out an episode&#8221; of the US television drama, in which a body is &#8220;got rid of&#8221; by dissolving it in acid.<br />
Mr Brizzi who denies murder but admits obstructing police investigations, said he &#8220;panicked&#8221; and felt &#8220;paranoid&#8221; after officer Semple, from Greenhithe, Kent, died during a &#8220;sex game gone wrong&#8221; at his south London apartment.<br />
The prosecution led by Crispin Aylett, pressed Brizzi, an admitted crystal meth user on his &#8220;obsession&#8221; with Breaking Bad.</p>

<h6 class="story-body__introduction"><strong>Victim Gordon Semple, served with the Metropolitan Police for 30 years. No one can say exactly how he was killed</strong></h6>
<p class="story-body__introduction">Aylett contended that Brizzi had been inspired by an episode of the show &#8211; about a chemistry teacher who makes a fortune manufacturing the drug &#8211; where the main character, Jesse Pinkman, attempts to dissolve a body in a bath.<br />
&#8220;I accept I considered without any rationality at all. I think I was inspired by that idea,&#8221; Mr Brizzi replied.<br />
&#8220;I took whatever was there, thinking maybe I can dissolve him. The bath was absolutely tiny, I had no knives, no saws, anything in particular out of the ordinary.<br />
&#8220;I had no idea what kind of chemical I was using. I&#8217;m not saying I was not inspired by that idea. What other ways did I have to dispose of it? I couldn&#8217;t bury it. I didn&#8217;t know where to start.&#8221;</p>

<h6 class="story-body__introduction"><span class="off-screen"><strong>Breaking Bad: In season one, the main character Jesse Pinkman (right) and his sidekick Walter White (left), use acid to hide a dead body. </strong></span><strong><span class="media-caption__text"> Brizzi told the court he had watched the TV drama two or three times</span></strong></h6>
<p>&#8220;I had no idea what kind of chemical I was using. I&#8217;m not saying I was not inspired by that idea. What other ways did I have to dispose of it? I couldn&#8217;t bury it. I didn&#8217;t know where to start.&#8221;<br />
Led in evidence, investigators told the court, officers found a &#8220;blue-green liquid&#8221; in the bath with &#8220;flesh-colored globules floating in the water&#8221;, when they searched Brizzi&#8217;s apartment.<br />
Describing his actions after officer Semple died, Brizzi told the court he felt he was living in a &#8220;bad dream&#8221; and decided rather than call the police, he would cut up and dispose of the body.<br />
Prosecutor Crispin Aylett however attributed Brizzi&#8217;s actions to an attempt at a cover up. Hetold the court Brizzi dismembered the victim so no one could find out the exact cause of death of police officer Gordon Semple.<br />
&#8220;The condition you left the body in means the pathologist cannot tell one way or another. You could have hit him with a hammer, rendering him unconscious,&#8221; he said.<br />
He said Mr Brizzi &#8220;did everything [he] possibly could to make sure nobody would be able to find out what happened to Gordon Semple&#8221;.<br />
The defendant replied: &#8220;I tried to get away with it. I did not act out a strategy of some kind of well- thought ideas.&#8221;<br />
The trial continues.</p>
