Marilyn Manson DVD played in murder trial
MARILYN MANSON's DVD 'THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE' was played
in court yesterday (December 23) in the trial of a teenager accused of
murdering schoolgirl JODI JONES.
The DVD - which shows two girls tied together near a track and struggling
as hoods were placed over their heads - was seized by police from the
home of Luke Mitchell, 16, who denies murdering Jodi on June 30 last year.
He told detectives he bought the DVD two days after 14-year-old Jodi's
naked and bloodstained body was found in woods near her home in
Dalkeith, near Edinburgh.
The High Court in Edinburgh was told that during the police interview on
July 4 last year Mitchell also chatted about his musical interests, including
Marilyn Manson.
Mitchell, who was then aged 14, told them he had bought Manson's CD,
and bonus DVD, at a supermarket.
He told Detective Constable Stephen Quinn: "It is a weird sort of gothic
video."
Mitchell described the contents as "trancestyle", with Manson "saying
random words and stuff" over film of a car driving down a road in the
middle of the night.
Prosecutor Alan Turnbull QC asked for the first 10 minutes of the DVD to
be played.
The jury heard repetitive music and lyrics such as "stop rehearsing alcohol
and start performing narcotics" and "the only thing that is immortal in this
world is money".
Mr Turnbull asked the detective if the contents did include, as Mitchell had
said, a car driving down the road in the middle of the night, and DC Quinn
agreed.
"The portion we watched also seemed to include a number of flash images.
In some there seemed to be a young girl who is naked."
The detective replied: "It seemed to be like that, yes." He also agreed that
in some images the girl appeared to be lying on the ground.
Mr Turnbull described how occupants got out of a car after seeing two
struggling women wearing corsets, which made them seem to be naked
and tied together. Hoods or bags were then put over the women's heads
as they struggled.
"The girls were to some extent molested and carried away," said Mr
Turnbull, and DC Quinn agreed.
The detective also agreed with Donald Findlay QC, defending Mitchell, that
the 'The Golden Age of Grotesque', had been bought in Sainsbury's and
bore a 15 age restriction certificate.
The trial continues.
