The jury in the case of a Russian prostitute accused of murdering a sickly and reclusive pensioner during a fight at his house has retired to consider its verdict.
Natalia Woolley, 38, who described herself on escort websites as "alluring to all men and incredibly sexy", is accused of leaving 69-year-old Winston Fernandez slumped lifeless against his bed on January 16 this year.
Woolley, from Baron's Court Road, West Kensington, London, is alleged to have kicked, punched and stamped on her client Mr Fernandez, fracturing 17 ribs and breaking his larynx in two places at his home in Longdown Road North in Epsom, Surrey.
Mr Fernandez, an alcoholic with health problems, was not found until almost a month after his death when a concerned neighbour contacted police, Guildford Crown Court has heard.
William Saunders, prosecuting, told the court that Woolley was registered with the Diamond Escorts and 24-Carat Escorts agencies, and used the names Lenka and Alice to ply her trade.
In a police interview she said Mr Fernandez locked her into his house, demanded she perform oral sex on him as well as other sexual acts and attacked her by pinning her down and grabbing her legs, the court heard.
Woolley told jurors that she was trying to fight off Mr Fernandez when he grabbed her during a fight.
Woolley denies murder in the trial in front of Judge Christopher Critchlow, the Honorary Recorder of Guildford.
