A professional poker player was killed for his winnings after being lured into a honey trap by a young woman, a court has heard.
Mehmet Hassan, 56, was bound with parcel tape and a neck tie and then kicked and stamped to death in his north London flat in March 2014.
The court was told the attackers then ransacked his Islington home after care assistant Leonie Granger let them in.
Mr Hassan met Miss Granger at a Mayfair casino the month before, jurors heard.
Miss Granger is on trial at the Old Bailey accused of murder and false imprisonment, which she denies.
Her boyfriend Kyrron Jackson, of Romborough Way, Lewisham, and his friend Nicholas Chandler, of Lee High Road, south-east London, both 28, are further accused of robbing Mr Hassan.
They are also accused of two counts of plotting to rob employees of Grosvenor Casinos, two counts of conspiracy to have a shotgun and imitation firearm, and two counts of conspiracy to falsely imprison.
They also deny the charges against them.
