A jury has retired to consider its verdicts in the case of a couple accused of killing a teenage boy after accusing him of being a witch.
Kristy Bamu, 15, was tortured and drowned in a bath on Christmas Day 2010 at a flat in Newham, east London.
He was in such pain after three days of being attacked with knives, sticks, metal bars, a hammer and chisel that he "begged to die" before slipping under the water, the Old Bailey heard.

Football coach Eric Bikubi, 28, and Kristy's sister Magalie, 29, deny murder. Magalie denies two counts of assaulting her younger sisters, who were also accused of witchcraft.
Bikubi has admitted the assault charges and also pleaded guilty to manslaughter but it has not been accepted by the prosecution.
