A teenager stabbed a woman 28 times as he murdered her and her sister following a birthday party in the park after he vowed to 'sacrifice' women in a 'deal with the devil' in order to win the lottery, a court has heard.
Danyal Hussein, 19, is accused of murdering Nicole Smallman, 27, who was found in Fryent Country Park, Wembley, London, with stab wounds to her chest, back, arms, legs and hands.
She was stabbed 28 times, the prosecution said, and was killed by two wounds to the lungs - one of which had penetrated her breast bone with 'severe force'.
The pathologist concluded the injuries to her hands and arms were caused when she tried to shield herself from the frenzied attack.
Her legs may have been cut as she lay on the ground on her back and tried to kick out to defend herself.
Ms Smallman was found alongside sister Bibaa Henry, 46, who was also stabbed with 'severe force' when the killer caught her by surprise in the park, a pathologist found.
Ms Henry had suffered a total of eight injuries. Three had penetrated the heart and lungs and would have killed her.
Dr Robert Chapman found that one wound to the chest had been inflicted with such force that it penetrated the breast bone - but there were no defensive injuries to Ms Henry's hands or wrists.
One wound was inflicted on her after she had collapsed and her body has suffered a large graze to the back when she was dragged into the undergrowth.
The details came at the trial of Danyal Hussein who is accused of murdering the sisters in a demonic pact to win the lottery.
Hussein had a contract with 'demon' Lucifuge Rofocale to sacrifice six women every six months to win the Mega Millions Super Jackpot, the Old Bailey heard.
The court heard CCTV shows Hussein leaving and entering the park and his blood and DNA were found at the scene, but he denies being there.

After his arrest early on July 1, the court heard police recovered an agreement allegedly signed by Hussein in his blood pledging to a demon to 'sacrifice' six women every six months in exchange for winning the Mega Millions Super Jackpot
PC Simon Dowley today told the Old Bailey he arrived at 1.25pm on June 7 last year after friends of Ms Henry and Ms Smallman found their bodies.
He told the jury he could see the 'two deceased females' and 'the only way to describe it is intertwined with each other'.
PC Dowley told the court: 'As I approached the bushes and looked into the bushes I could see the two deceased females.
'The only way to describe it is intertwined with each other, lying on the floor. DC (Fifi) Gaskin told me to step back and to deal with witnesses in the area,' said PC Dowley.
The officer spoke to David Stone - who had originally found a black handled kitchen knife - and asked him to direct him towards it.
Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow asked him: 'Initially, is it right to say you couldn't find it?' He replied: 'It was long grass, waist high and he pointed me in the general direction.'
Jurors heard officers originally intended to wait for a specialised police dog but after becoming concerned the rain might return they started to look themselves.
Bodyworn camera played for the jury showed PC Dowley rummaging through the grass in the hill before finding the knife.

He additionally discovered a pink can of Gordon's gin and tonic near the weapon.
The court earlier saw CCTV of the sisters in high spirits buying supplies for the birthday party, including alcohol and soft drinks.
Detective Sergeant Mark Johnson told jurors when he arrived at the scene he was initially unable to spot the bodies through the thick vegetation.
He said: 'It was a very dense foliage in the bushes. It would have been easy to walk straight past it without seeing the bodies inside.'
DS Johnson then went on to set up an inner police cordon around the location where the slain sisters were found.
He added: 'I tried to make it as large as possible. It is very difficult to set up a cordon on open land.'

DS Michael Hartley, from a homicide unit, said the scene where the sisters' bodies were found was 'quite disturbing'.
He told the court: 'I was very conscious of securing the scene. There were officers already there.'
He said after the pathologist examined the scene the condition of the sisters' clothing indicated they had been dragged to the hedgerow where they were found.
Hussein bought three lottery tickets from the ASDA in Charlton on June 29, National Lottery operator Camelot confirmed.
He first bought a Lotto Draw ticket at 9.38pm - one minute later he bought Thunderball and Euromillions tickets.
Ms Henry, a social worker, had been stabbed eight times and Ms Smallman, who worked in the hospitality industry, had suffered 28 injuries, the court has heard.
Hussein, from Blackheath, southeast London, denies two counts of murder and possessing a knife.
The trial continues.
