Chilling moment murderer tells police 'I've killed someone' - as he faces life in jail for stabbing woman to death then sexually assaulting her corpse
This is the chilling moment a man casually admits murdering a family friend in a 'barbaric' knife attack, as he faces life in prison for stabbing her and sexually assaulting her corpse. Ernestas Juska stabbed 39-year-old Nina Denisova to death with a large kitchen blade as she slept in bed. The 21-year-old also admitted sexually abusing his victim after killing her at his home in Dartford, Kent. He then approached a member of the public and told them to call the police as he had killed someone. In bodycam footage Juska is seen sitting cross-legged on the floor as an officer approaches him, asking: 'What's going on, lad?'. 'I killed someone,' he casually replies. Juska today admitted charges of murder and committing a sexual offence against a deceased female at Maidstone Crown Court, and will be sentenced in November. He was arrested on the morning of August 17 last year, after approaching a member of the public on the street and telling them to call the police as he'd killed someone. Juska was detained by officers at a bus stop before directing officers to the crime scene at his nearby home. In the bodyworn footage, Juska is heard telling an officer of his victim: '[She's] a friend of my mum's' and that her body was 'in the house'. Upon entering the property, officers found the 39-year-old victim dead on a bed, having suffered multiple stab wounds. When arrested and taken into custody, Juska told officers the victim was a family friend who had been staying in his house overnight. He said he killed her as he wanted to 'lash out', and that it had been important she wasn't someone who was close to him. In police interviews, Juska also spoke of the 'excitement' he'd felt in the moments leading up to the murder, and explained that he'd consumed alcohol and cocaine on the evening prior to the attack. At around 6.40am on the morning of the murder, he chose a knife from the kitchen and, after climbing the stairs, entered a bedroom and attacked his victim as she slept. He also admitted that he later went on to sexually abuse her. Det Sgt Max Gregory, of Kent Police, described Juska's crimes as 'senseless', saying: 'The depravity of Juska's actions is almost indescribable. 'He inflicted horrific injuries upon his defenceless victim and admitted he had no real motive for killing her other than wanting to harm someone who wasn't related to him. 'During police interviews he spoke of the excitement he felt in the moments leading up to this barbaric murder. 'For Juska to then commit further heinous acts on the deceased woman is beyond comprehension. 'Juska's crimes have ultimately led to the senseless loss of a beloved daughter and sister and our thoughts remain with her family.'
