A court has heard details of the final moments of convicted child sex offender Ashley Bropho, and how the man who pleaded guilty to his murder wrote of his pride after the killing.

The court heard Martin told Bropho's cellmate: "I will kill him."
Minutes later, after Bropho had arrived, Martin went into the cell and assaulted him.
The court was told Martin "smashed" the 40-year-old's head "into shelving", and then lay on Bropho while another prisoner punched and kicked him.
Mr Lima told the court that on March 9, Martin went into Bropho's cell again when he was there alone.
"The offender held the victim in a front guillotine chokehold," he said.
"[He] forced the victim into the ground, and then wrapped his legs around the victim so that he could apply maximum leverage and pressure on the victim's neck."
Once Bropho was unconscious, Martin stood on his neck until he died.
Martin told prisoners what he had done and then used the intercom to ask if he could "see the boss" and have a set of handcuffs.
