26-year-old Gemma Lilly, along with her neighbor, appeared before the Supreme Court in Perth, Australia. The women lured Aaron Pajich, who suffered from Asperger's syndrome, into their home, stabbed him several times and hid his body in the backyard.

Lilly told the jury that she researched torture methods because she was going to write a trilogy about serial killers. She denied that she had been preparing for the murder in advance, although the name and address of the deceased were written in her notebook.

Lilly also told the court about her first book called Play Zone, which she wrote at the age of 16. The main character of the work was called SOS.

Trudy Lenon, who is also accused of murder, denies her guilt in every possible way. The woman claims that Lilly killed the young man, and she just helped hide the evidence.
