Jurors in the murder trial of a young mother, who was probably killed with cling film and masking tape inside a High Wycombe kebab shop, were today shown footage of the man accused of killing her spying on her from behind a bin.

CCTV footage shown to the jury appeared to show Ahsan ‘Ali’ Hassan crouching behind a pair of metal bins in the early hours of the morning as Zofia Sadowska, from High Wycombe, ate a kebab with a friend on a bench in the town centre.

The 20-year-old enraged her 28-year-old ex-boyfriend Hassan by dating his childhood friend, sparking a series of incidents which ended in her death, the court heard.

The court was earlier told Hassan carried the Polish woman’s “limp and completely floppy” body out of Dennis’s Kebab Shop in Micklefield, and into a taxi, after killing her with clingfilm and masking tape when he became consumed with jealousy.

Jurors were told Hassan admitted manslaughter by killing the mother-of-one in what he described as part of a lovers’ suicide pact, but he denies a charge of murder.

The court was told today that Zofia had been to watch a film at the cinema with her boyfriend's friend Petri Suchi on September 6 last year, before going out for drinks and dancing at Yates, in Frogmoor.

Jurors today also watched CCTV footage from the pub which showed Hassan stood at the bar dressed a shirt and bandana but was later seen pursuing the pair dressed in a shirt with the words “No. 1 Public Enemy” and a white baseball cap.

Zofia could be seen dancing before the leaving the venue, after she briefly spoke to Hassan who later followed the pair out into the night.

Footage showed him following some way behind as the pair made their way to a kebab shop shortly after 2am on September 7, before they made their way to a bench in the town centre.

The court was told Hassan initially waited in the entrance to a shop and loitered by the corner of a building close by, before crouching down in the street behind a pair of metal bins to watch the pair.

Asked if he knew Hassan had been watching them Mr Suchi said: “No I didn't have any idea.”

Hassan was seen lying flat with his stomach to the ground at one point in the footage, but appeared to bang his nose on the bin as he stood up again and used his mobile phone to check out for any damage on his face.

Facebook messages between Mr Suchi and Zofia were read to the court which revealed that Hassan had been in a fight on a night out less than two weeks later.

Mr Suchi, who was accompanied at the witness stand by an interpreter but mostly answered in English, became friends with Zofia’s boyfriend and Kamil Szerzenowicz, the father of her now four-year-old son, at a car wash where he worked part-time.

Although he occasionally accompanied Zofia on nights out without Kamil in High Wycombe, the Albanian told Reading Crown Court he was worried about the amount of alcohol she was consuming on a weekly basis.

He said: “I just say (sic) stop drinking for your son first and for my friend Kamil.

“If you have something you just have to stop drinking and stop what you're doing.”

The jury heard Hassan was found in a pool of blood with deep self-inflicted cuts to his wrist next to Zofia’s body in his room on September 20.

A written statement by Zofia’s mother Katarzyna, who now lives in Germany and was not present at the trial, was read out to the court by prosecutor Alan Blake.

It described her early life and her relationship with her family, with Katarzyna saying Zofia was “a creative person and good at art”.

Her mother said she met Kamil, the father of her child who is also Polish, and the couple decided to move to High Wycombe as he knew someone who lived in the town.

She said that she did not know about Zofia’s pregnancy, adding: “It was a shock to me, they didn't tell me about it. I only found out after the little one was born.

“About three months ago any communication became more sporadic.

“When I was able to contact her, the conversation would be seem more distant.”

Speaking about the day she found out about her daughter’s death, she said: “I couldn't believe it and I was consumed by grief.”

The trial continues.
