Maximillian Bourne, son of a wealthy art collector, is on trial for the attempted murder of his housekeeper, Joselia Pereira Do Nascimento. The attack occurred at their home in Chelsea, where Bourne allegedly stabbed and strangled her. He later described her as 'evil' during the assault and referred to himself as a 'nice boy' during a 999 call. The jury's role is to determine whether the act occurred, as Bourne has been deemed unfit to stand trial due to mental health issues, complicating the legal proceedings.
Ms Nascimento described how she managed to get free and lock herself in a bathroom before retrieving her phone to call for help, telling one of her friends that she was dying.
When he was stabbing me he eventually let go of the knife and started to strangle me around the neck with both hands.
