UK -- A fitness trainer used a hold he learned from an martial arts instruction video to throttle a disabled man and then tried to pin the blame on his best friend, a court heard.
The 34-year-old Sidcup man is on trial for the murder of Kevin Beckingham at his home in Plumstead, on February 12 last year.
The Old Bailey heard how the accused killed Mr Beckingham, aged 35, with his own hands using a choke hold from the American martial art of catch wrestling.
In 1999, Mr Beckingham employed the accused, a father-of-one, as a personal trainer to help him "build himself up".
It is claimed the accused, who was described as "manipulative" and "aggressive", stabbed Mr Beckingham in the neck after choking him to death, to make it look like he had been killed by an intruder.
