[(Title)] Alex McEwan tells court demon named 'Jazzy' made him kill Korean student Eunji Ban.

The man accused of murdering a Korean exchange student in 2013 has told his Supreme Court trial that a demon named "Jazzy" made him kill her, and that he decorated a tree with her hair "like a Christmas tree".

被指控于2013年谋杀一名韩国交换学生的男子在最高法院审判时说，是一个名叫“爵士”的魔鬼让他杀女孩的，还让他用她的头发把一棵树装饰成圣诞树。

Alex Reuben McEwan is on trial for the murder of Eunji Ban, who suffered horrific head injuries when she was set upon in a random early morning attack in November, 2013.

Ms Ban was bashed by Mr McEwan, who punched her repeatedly in the face before dragging her body up stairs and under a tree in Wickham Park in Brisbane's CBD.

麦克尤文反复殴打了潘恩吉后，将她的身体拖上楼梯，扔到布里斯班威克姆公园的一棵树下。

Mr McEwan, now 25, previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter but his plea was rejected by the prosecution who are pursuing him on a murder charge.

麦克尤文先生现年25岁，先前已经承认了一般杀人罪，但他的辩诉状被控方驳回，称其应为谋杀罪。

Taking the stand, Mr McEwan recounted his recollection of the killing, telling the court he went to bed just before midnight, before waking up early the next morning and walking through the park.

麦克尤恩先生采取这种立场，重复了他回忆起杀人事件，告诉法庭他在午夜前睡觉，第二天早上醒来，穿过公园。

"I walked down the steps onto the streets, and I saw a silhouette on the other side of the road and I attacked," he said.

他说:“我走下台阶走上街头，看到马路另一边有一个身影，然后我就发起了攻击。”

When asked by defence barrister John Allen why he attacked, he said "it was the demon".

当辩护律师约翰·艾伦问他为何要攻击时，他说：“是魔鬼叫我这么做的。”他说：“我试图阻止自己，我也想大叫，让别人来帮忙，绞尽脑汁地想办法来阻止我自己。我无法控制我的身体。我开始掐她，然后用拳打她，踢她。然后她就死在了路边。”

"I was trying to stop myself, I was trying to call out help … I was trying to think of anything I could do to stop my actions," he said.

"I couldn't control my body. I began choking her, then punching her and kicking her.

"She was dead on the side of the road."

"I don't know why, but I decorated the tree beside her with her hair like it was a Christmas tree," he said.

“我不知道为什么自己要这么做，但我用她的头发装饰了旁边的树，就象是一棵圣诞树。”他说。

He said when he woke up the next morning he was "very nauseous" and vomited before going to hospital to have his hand treated.

他说，第二天早上醒来时，他“恶心”呕吐，然后才去医院治疗他的手。

He said he could remember hitting Ms Ban and dragging her, but he looked on the internet to see if what he had done was true.

他说他记得自己打过潘恩吉，也记得自己拖着她，然后他就到网上搜索他所做的是否是真的。

Mr McEwan told the jury he first started feeling an evil presence when he was around six or seven years old, but did not know it was a demon until he was 18.

麦克尤恩告诉陪审团，在他六七岁时，他开始感觉到一种邪恶的存在，但在他18岁以前还不知道这是魔鬼。他说：“他跟了我一辈子了。我叫他爵士。”

"He's been following my whole life … I call him Jazzy," he said.

"I could feel his presence beside me as I slept. Just evil … it makes you sick."

“我睡觉的时候可以感觉到他在我身边存在，邪恶得让人恶心。”

When asked why he named the demon "Jazzy", Mr McEwan said it was because he started listening to jazz music at the time.

当被问及他为什么命名魔鬼为“爵士”时，麦克埃万说他是因为当时他开始听爵士乐。

"He has horse-like legs, with hooves and a hairy human torso. He has normal hands with claws and a goat's head with horns and sharp teeth, and he is very muscular," Mr McEwan replied.

麦克尤恩描述道：“他长着像马一样的腿，长着蹄子，长头发，多毛，有爪子，头是山羊头，由角和锋利的牙齿，肌肉发达。

Mr McEwan often spent time in Wickham Park smoking marijuana and speaking to God and his late nana, the court heard.

麦克尤恩经常在威克汉公园抽烟吸大麻，并且与上帝和已故的南纳谈话，法庭对此进行了听审。

The court heard Mr McEwan told psychiatrists in 2016 about exaggerating his symptoms and that he would prefer to be found unfit for trial and have a mental health defence because any other outcome would "distress his mother".

法院于2016年听取了麦克尤文的陈述，告诉精神科医生夸大其症状，他宁愿被认定不适于审判，也不愿意接受精神健康辩护，因为任何其他结果都会“让他的母亲难受”。

Mr McEwan told the court he was not mentally ill at the time but was possessed by a demon and "didn't mean to do it".

麦克尤恩告诉法庭，他不是精神病患者，而是被魔鬼操控，并且“无意伤害别人”。
