The man accused of murdering Claire Tiltman kept a stash of fabricated romantic liaisons entitled "my female relationships" in his prison cell, a court has heard today (November 13).

All 11 women listed in the diary-style accounts have denied having a relationship with Colin Ash-Smith, 46, many of them describing him as "creepy".

The accounts were read out during his trial at Inner London Crown Court.

He is charged with stabbing 16-year-old Dartford Grammar School pupil Claire to death on the evening of January 18, 1993 in an alleyway off London Road, Greenhithe.

The notes were discovered by prison staff and all show a similar pattern whereby Ash-Smith claimed women flirted or had sexual relations with him.

In one account read to jurors, former milkman Ash-Smith described a friend of his girlfriend.

He wrote: "She would flash her bum or cleavage or me.

"She would flirt with me quite openly."

Jennie Banks told police: "I never did this this.

"I thought he was weird and always felt uncomfortable with him."

She also described a time when she was sitting in a room with him and he produced a flick knife from his pocket without warning.

She said: "He told me he needed it for self-defence."

Former friend Melvyn Pettipher also described the chilling moment when he bumped into Ash-Smith in a doctor's waiting room some time after the murder, surrounded by posters of Claire.

Mr Pettipher told the court: "The conversation died so I told him, 'I hope they get the b****** who did that to Clare,' and his whole demeanour changed completely.

"Before he'd been talking to me like an old friend who you hadn't seen for a while but then he just looked at the floor and couldn't look at me.

"It sent shivers up my spine.

"He didn't want to talk after that"

Ash-Smith denies murder.

The trial continues.
