The man accused of killing a British doctor and his wife-to-be inside their posh Boston penthouse wrote disturbing messages on their wall, a court has heard.

Brit Richard Field, 48, and Lina Bolanos, 39, were knifed to death in their £1.5million home in May, 2017.

Jurors yesterday heard how suspect Bampumim Teixeira, 33, wrote on the wall of their home “he killed my wife” and “payback”.

Officers also found black markings on photos that had Mr Field’s face crossed out.

Police reports also said Teixeira said “they killed my wife” and added, “you guys are going to die”.

But, it is unclear whether the West Africa native had ever been married.

Prosecutors said the ex-doorman lurked around the building where he briefly worked before sneaking into their 11th-floor home.

Assistant District Attorney John Pappas told the jury: “Field was found dead in a pool of his own blood. His hands bound behind his back with handcuffs.”

“Lina Bolanos was also in a pool of her blood after having been stabbed repeatedly in the neck.”

But, Teixeira’s defence lawyer said that was not enough proof that he was involved.

His attorney, Steven Sack, added: “No video, no audio, no scientific evidence, no credible evidence will tell you that Bampumim Teixeira broke into the home of Lina Bolanos and Richard Field and murdered them.”

“And that’s because he didn’t.”

Matthias Heidenreich testified that he received a number of texts from his pal Dr Field, originally from Hammersmith in London, that gunman was in their flat and to call the police.

He said he replied to the messages but got no answer.

Texieira, who is on trial for two counts of first-degree murder, has pleaded not guilty.

The trial continues.
