“Go for the neck … Have it quickly, as painless as possible and leave there.”
This was the horrifying command-convicted murderer Robert Louis Baker says that he gave a fellow samenweer, the son of his best friend, during a failed attempt to kill Fabio Sementilli, a famous hairdresser and popular director at German hair care company Wella.
The 49-year-old was slaughtered the next day on January 23, 2017, stabbed seven times on the terrace of his property in Tony Woodland Hills Ranch style.
The wife of Sementilli of 20 years, Monica, 53, is accused of planning his brutal murder with her lover Baker, a convicted sex offender for children, adult entertainer in the porn film industry – and former army -ranking gesture.
Star Witness Baker, 62, denies prosecution claims that the widow of the victim has worked with him to kill the successful businessman for insurance policies of a total of $ 2.2 million.
Monday spoken at the witness bank under cross -examination in Dept. 101 On the 9th floor of the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Center in the center of Los Angeles, Baker tried to declare intense questions from deputy public prosecutor Beth Silverman.
Sementilli wore a gray jacket with ravenhaar that fell along her back and sat between her expensive defense lawyers, Leonard Levine and Blair Berk. During an earlier hearing she was finished in court.
Baker was previously convicted of life behind bars for the murder after he had not argued. Did a blue jacket and Gingham Check-shirt without a tie, he remained confused during the tense confrontation with Silverman.

Monica has not guilty and her lawyer claimed that she was falsely accused
He said he didn't know how many lies he told during the murder investigation, Silverman shot back: “What about 360?”
Sometimes he seemed defeated by grilling and accused his opponent of “trying to feed the jury some nonsense.”
Gravely voted Baker described 'nervous as hell' when he and Christopher Austin, 38, entered the house in Sementilli while their victim was only outside.
“He turned around very quickly and he screamed and he grabbed my chest and my hand at the same time,” Baker told court. 'My right hand went straight up and I just tried to cut everything I could.
“Eventually his handle let go. I kept trying to cut until I felt it let go.
Baker added that his 'heart was racing' during the crazy attack and that at one point he was 'black'.
Sementilli suffered deep wounds to his heart and thigh. Silverman called the Savage Attack a 'premeditated murder'.
She added: “Your plan was to surprise him while he lay his own business on his terrace.”

Sementilli's wife of 20 years old, Monica, 53, is accused of expanding his brutal murder with her lover Baker
Baker has admitted that he stabbed the hairdresser several times with an eight-inch hunting knife in his terrace, seen above
Baker said that Austin was 'in a panic' and that he was the only one who stabbed Sementilli – although the court heard a testimony from Austin who said he had also participated in the attack.
Baker said he tried to make the scene look like a home invasion.
Austin, who was convicted of second -degree murder in killing Sementill, previously told jury members that Monica Sementilli had left a door to the house of the couple.
Baker often showed a decayed memory during his last witness.
He portrayed his former loved one as completely not aware of his plan to kill her husband. “I killed him because I wanted her,” he told the court earlier. “She had nothing to do with it.”
Monica Sementilli is not guilty of accusations of murder with special circumstances and conspiracy.
Baker said he used burner telephones to communicate via Messaging App Viber.
At 5:12 pm on January 22 – the day before her husband was killed in cold -blooded – Silverman referred to data records who showed that Semintelli had googled 'Pho in my area' looking for a Vietnamese restaurant to lead her husband so he could pick up a take -out meal for them.
But it was reportedly a trick.
Silverman said that the accused had passed the restaurant address to Baker who followed his prey to the location.
Blake said he gave Austin a knife to kill Sementilli when he parked outside the restaurant in his black Porsche 2008 Black Porsche Carrerra 911 in a comic wall on Ventura Boulevard.
He said that the weapon was a small hunting knife, eight centimeters long, bought from 'or Target or Walmart'.
Baker also revealed that in 2016 he had attached GPS tracking devices to the sports car and Blue Ford F150 Pick -Up Truck that the family owned, so that he could trace the movements of the businessman who were purchased online.

Prosecutors say that the two alleged murderers have continued their relationship from behind bars after the murder. Monica and Fabio Sementelli are depicted. The couple was married for 20 years
Baker and his claimed his former lovers exchanged on the day of the attempted hit on Sementelli.
Silverman said that a geo-locator demonstrated that Baker had waited three hours in the restaurant for his victim and that he exchanged 60 messages with Monica in that period.
“How did you know where Fabio went before Fabio even knew he was going there,” she asked Baker who replied that he had picked up 'the information' himself using the GPS tracker on the Porsche.
“So you happened to wait in a car on Ventura Blvd, with co-sammerer Chris Austin with a knife?”

“Yes,” said Baker.
After the failed murder attempt, Baker said that plans had been made the next day to kill Sementill.
Silverman said to Baker: “Would it surprise you that Fabio Sementill was actually driving a blue F150 truck when he went to the restaurant?”
Baker answered. “I certainly saw a Porsche.”
Later he said: 'My memory is so ruined. I don't remember Nuthin '…'
The case continues.
