April Jones is a school that went missing near her home in Machynlleth, Powys, on 1 October 2012.
Bone fragments from a child and blood matching that of missing five-year-old April Jones were found in the home of a man accused of murdering her in a sexually motivated attack, a jury has heard.
Mark Bridger, 47, of nearby Ceinws, denies abducting and murdering April.
The jury was shown what the prosecution called "very unpleasant" images from Mr Bridger's computer.
Mr Bridger also denies intending to pervert the course of justice.
Opening the case for the prosecution, Elwen Evans QC said the defendant had gone to enormous lengths to conceal what he had done.
"He has played a cruel game in pretending not to know what he has done to her and with her. It is a game to try and save himself," she said.
The jury heard Mr Bridger undertook an "extensive clean-up operation" at his home which included the disposal of April's body and her clothes.
However, some evidence remained. Blood found in the living room, hallway and bathroom matched April's DNA.
Ms Evans told the court that bone fragments found in fire ashes at his home were consistent with those of a juvenile human skull, according to experts.
A concentration of blood was found near the wood burner at Mr Bridger's home. Around the wood burner were a number of knives, one of which was badly burned.
women need to be careful with their children these days
