Bridger: 'I don't deny being involved with April's death'
Nearing the end of questioning from his defence barrister, Mr Bridger said: "I obviously was involved, I don't ever deny being involved with April's death.
"I didn't run. I didn't hide, I didn't go anywhere. I didn't know what to do.
"Initially I really thought I would have been charged with either death by reckless driving or death by drink-driving.
"I did not expect to be on a murder charge."
As questioning concluded, Mr Bridger denied abducting April Jones, saying there was 'no intention' of doing so.
He also denied having any form of sexual contact with her that night, or deliberately killing her.

Bridger describes movements before April disappeared
Mark Bridger's evidence has included his movements on the days before April's disappearance.
On Saturday September 29 he picked up two of his children and took them for a walk in the hills before returning home where he cooked them a chicken for their evening meal.
Bridger told the court he cooked the food in a pot and a wok inside the log wood burner, something he did regularly.
He said anything left over "gets thrown in the fire".
The prosecution claim bone fragments later found in the wood burner were those of April - a claim disputed by the defence.
