A man accused of hacking a schoolboy to death with a Samurai sword re-enacted the attack in hospital afterwards, a jury was told. <\/p>\n

Marcus Arduini Monzo, 37, is on trial for murder and attempted murder after going on a terrifying rampage that left Daniel Anjorin, 14, dead and five people injured.<\/p>\n

He claims he has no memory of the attack in Hainault, east London on April 30 last year, when he was allegedly under the influence of cannabis.<\/p>\n

Under cross-examination at the Old Bailey today, Monzo was asked about a conversation he had with a member of staff at Broadmoor secure psychiatric hospital, where he was transferred to after his arrest.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Tom Little KC said: ‘What about other films about killing? Can you remember shortly after you were transferred to Broadmoor a member of staff indicated that they liked horror films and as a result you became animated and you started undertaking a stabbing motion with your arms?’<\/p>\n

Monzo replied: ‘I don’t like horror movies at all. I like action movies with killing in them.’<\/p>\n

Mr Little continued: ‘You asked the member of staff if they liked ‘killing movies’.<\/p>\n

‘Your stabbing motion is exactly what you do to at least one of the individuals on April 30.’<\/p>\n

Monzo replied: ‘I don’t know.’<\/p>\n

The prosecutor asked: ‘Do you remember attacking anybody on April 30?’<\/p>\n

Monzo replied: ‘I don’t remember anything.’<\/p>\n

Mr Little also asked him about a video before the attacks in which he shows off a sword and describes it as ‘frigging sexy’.<\/p>\n
