The man who murdered a police officer says he could have killed a second officer, if he wanted to.

Eli Epiha admits killing Constable Matthew Hunt on an Auckland street in June last year.

He denies the attempted murder of a second officer and today took the stand in his own defence at his High Court trial.

Katie Todd was there.
