Grace Millane murder - do we believe the accused?

Grace Millane was on a round-the-world backpacking trip following her graduation. By December last year she was in New Zealand. It was her 22nd birthday and she hooked up with a guy (the unnamed accused) and they went on a pub-crawl. Later they went back to his flat for (he claimed) consensual sex.

He strangled her.

He took photos of her dead body, he watched pornography, and he carried out some internet searches apparently relating to disposal of the body. He hired a carpet cleaner, and a car, and bought cleaning products. He also hooked up with someone else on Tinder for a date later that day. He got her body into the suitcase and buried it somewhere in the bush.

His initial story was that she asked him to strangle her and he didn't realise she was dead and thought she had left the flat. He only found her body when he woke up in the morning. At what point in this saga the photographing is supposed to have happened I'm not sure.

He's obviously complete scum. I don't think anybody is going to believe that he didn't realise she was dead until the morning. His behaviour suggests a complete psychopath, with no sign of distress at the death of his date. But I'm curious. Did he really take her home intending to kill her, or did he simply push his penchant for abusive sex futher than he intended? I also wonder at what point this moves from culpable homicide to murder.
