21-year-old student choked to death during sex!

A student was suffocated to death while having sex with an aspiring musician after partying at a Nicki Minaj concert.

Nicola Furlong, 21, had returned to her hotel room in Tokyo with Richard Hinds, 19, following the gig.

Hinds is accused of getting her drunk then drugging her before strangling the unconscious girl with a towel.

He and his pal James Blackston, 23, had allegedly taken Nicola and her friend by taxi to a hotel in central Tokyo where they borrowed wheelchairs to get the unconscious women to their rooms.

Nicola, a Dublin City University undergraduate from Curracloe, County Wexford, was later found unconscious in her room after another guest complained of a loud noise. She was rushed to hospital but later died.

Hinds, from Memphis, Tennessee in the US, admits he had “lightly pressed her neck” while the two had sex but denies murder.

Blackston, from Los Angeles, faces charges of sexually assaulting Nicola’s friend in a separate room.

Nicola had come to Tokyo with a friend to see US rapper Nicki Minaj in concert where she met Hinds and professional dancer Blackston, who claims to have appeared in music videos for Black Eyed Peas, Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez.

Shocking taxi CCTV footage later that evening shows Nicola and her friend unconscious as they travelled back to the hotel.

The footage, which has not been released by police, shows Blackston allegedly sexually assaulting the friend in the cab.

The pair are recorded talking excitedly about sex as the women sat apparently unconscious, reports said.

The defence suggested she died of an overdose of alcohol and drugs.

“I do not believe I was the cause of her death,” Hinds told the court. “I had no intent or reason to hurt, harm or kill her.”
