A woman was captured on CCTV dragging a bulky suitcase around London for two hours after allegedly murdering her friend and stuffing the body inside, a court heard.

Jemma Mitchell, 38, is accused of killing 67-year-old Mee Kuen Chong at her Wembley home on 11 June last year before depositing her headless corpse in Devon woodland more than two weeks later.

Jurors at the Old Bailey watched CCTV clips on Thursday that tracked Ms Chong’s last-known sighting and Mitchell’s movements around that time.

Ms Chong was seen walking for exercise on Chaplin Road, where she lived in northwest London, on 9 July.

Mitchell, a 38-year-old osteopath, was seen walking from her home in Willesden with a large blue suitcase and backpack shortly before 6.30am two days later.

She arrived in Chaplin Road around 8am and emerged just over five hours later carrying the blue suitcase and another smaller bag allegedly containing Ms Chong’s financial paperwork.

Mitchell was captured on CCTV dragging the bags on the street and through a grass verge for two hours before being picked up by a minicab.

In that time, jurors heard she had called various cab companies nine times before a driver collected her for the 40-minute journey home.

She was dropped outside her next door neighbour’s house and then transferred the suitcases from the driveway to her home, it is claimed.
