Jurors are hearing more details of the online chats between Gavin Plumb and the undercover police officer referred to as David Nelson.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC says both asked questions to work out if the other was serious and Plumb shared details of her address including street view images and described his plan for a “night home invasion”.
She says his plan wasn’t just to abduct and rape her, but also to kill her.
When the officer asks if she’s going to be returned, Plumb says: “Nope,” the court hears.
When asked if he was serious, Plumb shared a video, which is played in court, showing “ankle shackles, ball gag, three lots of rope, metal cable ties, two sets of handcuffs”.
In other messages, he describes the plan as “a home invasion so we’ll use the chloroform on her and her husband. Tie both up. Take her. Leave him then it’s take to where she’s being kept and enjoy her”.
When asked what will happen at the end, Plumb says “slit her throat, clear her out and dispose of it,” the jury is told.
