THE bodies of two sisters stabbed to death in a park were found "entwined" together in undergrowth, a court heard today.

Danyal Hussein, 19, allegedly slaughtered Bibaa Henry, 46, and her 27-year-old half-sister Nicole Smallman after making a deal with the Devil.

The sisters were discovered dead in Fryent Country Park, North London, on June 5 last year after celebrating Bibaa's birthday.

PC Simon Dowley told the Old Bailey today how he saw the pair's bodies hidden in bushes.

He said: "The only way to describe it is intertwined with each other, lying on the floor."

Bodycam footage shown to the court then showed the officer rummaging through grass before finding a knife.

He also spotted a pink can of Gordon's gin and tonic near the weapon, it was said.

'DEMONIC SACRIFICE'

Hussein is accused of knifing Nicole 28 times and plunging the blade so hard into Bibaa that it broke.

Jurors heard how a handwritten letter was discovered in his bedroom that appeared to be an agreement between him and a "demon" signed in blood.

He promised to "sacrifice women in order to win the lottery and not to be suspected of the crimes he had committed", it was said.

On June 29, he bought three Lottery tickets from the ASDA Charlton Superstore.

The court was told Bibaa and Nicole had been celebrating the former's birthday with pals in the Wembley park.

After their guests left, they stayed behind alone to continue the party – playing with fairy lights and dancing together.

Hussein allegedly ambushed the pair as they sat alone in the park – repeatedly stabbing them in a frenzied attack.

They were discovered two days after worried friends headed to the park to find the missing sisters.

'HIDDEN' BODIES

The court was told pals first found glasses belonging to Bibaa and Nicole, before following a flattened trail of grass leading to undergrowth.

They then discovered the sisters' butchered bodies lying with their limbs entwined.

Social worker Bibaa had been stabbed eight times, while Nicole, who worked in the hospitality industry, had been knifed 28 times.

Detective Sergeant Mark Johnson told jurors he was unable to spot the bodies through the thick vegetation at first.

He said: "It was a very dense foliage in the bushes.

"It would have been easy to walk straight past it without seeing the bodies inside."

DNA belonging to Hussein was found on the women's bodies, nearby foliage and a knife at the scene, it was said.

Jurors were also told latex gloves covered in his blood were found near a pond where the sisters' phones had been thrown.

CCTV footage also captured him leaving the park and returning home to his father's address nearby, the court heard.

He had also used his bank card to buy five kitchen knives from Asda and a black balaclava, gaffer tape and a set of spade shovels online two days before the stabbing.

Hussein, of Eltham, South East London, denies two counts of murder and one of possession of an offensive weapon.

The trial continues.
