Convicted killer denies murdering two friends whose remains were found near his Cornwall cabin

A chilling murder trial is unfolding in Cornwall as James Desborough, a convicted killer, takes the stand to deny responsibility for the gruesome deaths of two of his friends, Claudio Aquilino and Daniel Coleman. The remains of the two men were found burnt and dismembered on Desborough's land near St Austell, sparking a major investigation.
