A Temple University student was beaten and stabbed to death by a man in his Philadelphia apartment after she refused to have anal sex with him, a court has heard.
Joshua Hupperterz, 30, is accused of murdering 22-year-old Jenna Burleigh at his apartment in August 2017 after first meeting at a bar in North Philadelphia earlier in the night.
Prosecutors told jurors on Tuesday on the first day of testimony that their encounter had started out as consensual but turned violent when they went back to his apartment and Burleigh refused to engage in the sex act.
Hupperterz allegedly beat, stabbed and strangled Burleigh in his apartment before then trying to hide her body.

'You're going to watch and you're going to see how her body was beaten and contorted, and how he tried to cover it up,' Assistant District Attorney Jason Grenell told jurors, according to Philly.com.

Prior to the opening statements, Hupperterz pleaded guilty on Tuesday to abuse of corpse and tampering with evidence but pleaded not guilty to murder and possession of an instrument of crime.
Prosecutors told the court that Hupperterz had met the victim at Pub Webb the night of August 31.
Surveillance footage captured the pair leaving when the venue closed at 2am and going back to his apartment a few blocks away.
Jurors heard that Hupperterz and Burleigh started having consensual sex before neighbors heard screaming in the apartment at about 4am.
The prosecutor said evidence would show that the screaming started when Hupperterz tried to have anal sex with the victim.
Burleigh grabbed a kitchen knife as she tried to fight Hupperterz, the court heard. Hupperterz allegedly beat her 38 times and then stabbed her.
Jurors were told that Hupperterz then smashed a bowl over the victim's head and started to strangle her.

Meanwhile, defense attorneys told the court that Hupperterz's roommate Jack Miley is actually the one who strangled the victim after he tried to intervene.
They allege that Hupperterz started screaming when Burleigh used the knife to stab his hand. They said Miley came running in and tried to stop the victim from screaming by putting his hands around her throat.
Police have previously said Hupperterz’s statement that Miley murdered the victim was a lie. Miley is set to testify at the trial and has not been charged in relation to the student's murder.
Burleigh died from blunt trauma and strangulation.
Following the murder, Hupperterz is accused of stuffing the student's body into a storage bin and moving it to his mother's house in a nearby neighborhood.
Police said he then used the ride-sharing service Lyft to move her body more than 100 miles away to his grandmother's house.
Her body was found in a shed at the property days later.
Hupperterz's murder trial is expected to hear testimony for the rest of the week.
He rejected a plea deal in December and faces life in prison if he is convicted.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
