Headley allegedly broke into the Bristol home of Louisa Dunne, 75, in June 1967 before attacking her.
A trial into the killing of the pensioner remains ongoing.
Now, Avon and Somerset Police have released a video of Headley's arrest, which are the first images of the defendant.
Headley can be heard moaning "I'm sick" as police burst into his home in the video which was shown to a jury.
In footage, a startled looking Headley asks cops: "Where are you getting this from?" as he is arrested.
In the video starts with officers turning up to his home in Ipswich, Suffolk, and asking if Headley can open up his door.
He responds by asking "who are you?" and then when told it's the police states; "No, no. You can't come now. What do you want to come in for?"
The female police officer adds: "I'll explain, because it's a bit sensitive so we'd like to come in to speak to you properly please. "
Headley then tells cops: "I've just got up and I'm very sick. I'm very sick. Not well at all."
The statled defendant then asks: "What is this about?"
The officer responds: "I'll tell you inside because we don't want other people hearing. So can we just come inside and get you seated?"

A second officer is heard telling him: "I'm here today because I'm arresting you on suspicion of the rape and murder of Louisa Dunne, which happened in Bristol, in June 1967.
"The reason I'm arresting you is because the police have investigative material that indicates that you were responsible for that rape and murder of Mrs Dunne, which happened at Britannia Road in eastern Bristol, June 1967."
Throughout, Headley repeats 'yeah' at regular intervals.
The officer then reads him his rights and Headley adds: " Wait, wait. Where are you getting all this from?"
The officer states: "We have investigative information, so we have material that suggests that it is yourself and we need to arrest you and take you into custody so we can conduct an interview with you.
"So we can hear your events and interview you about it."
The trial heard Louisa's body was found by neighbours the next morning after the attack, but in the decades that followed no-one was brought to justice over her death, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Her skirt, along witih other items from the scene, were kept in storage and were recently re-examined to try and make a breakthrough.
Jurors have been told there is "extremely strong" scientific evidence to suggest semen samples found on the skirt came from her alleged murderer.
Giving evidence, a forensic scientist told jurors that recent direct DNA matches linking semen samples from Mrs Dunne's pubic hair and the blue skirt suggested they were "one billion times" more likely to have come from Headley than from anyone else.
An earlier statement from pathologist Dr Albert Hunt, who carried out Mrs Dunne's autopsy revealed the cause of her death as asphyxiation due to strangulation and pressure on the mouth.
Headley, of Ipswich, Suffolk, denies raping and murdering Ms Dunne in June 1967.
The trial continues.

UK police studying Glastonbury performances after anti-Israel chants
GLASTONBURY, England, June 29 (Reuters) - British police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows. "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday. Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. "Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said. The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". Prime Minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury. The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge. A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. "I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News. "I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.

Police examining Glastonbury performances labelled ‘hateful' and ‘grotesque'
Police examining Glastonbury performances labelled 'hateful' and 'grotesque' In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon (Image: PA ) Police continue to examine videos of comments made by acts Bob Vylan and Kneecap at Glastonbury as the festival enters its third day. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, on Saturday led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF", before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans "start a riot" outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance. In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. "Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." Reacting on social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". A statement on X said: "Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out-especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms. Article continues below "Chants such as 'Death to the IDF,' and 'From the river to the sea' are slogans that advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel and implicitly call for the elimination of Jewish self-determination. When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence. "We call on Glastonbury Festival organisers, artists, and public leaders in the UK to denounce this rhetoric and reject of all forms of hatred." Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes "grotesque", writing on X: "Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked. "The cultural establishment needs to wake up to the fact this isn't protest, it's incitement. "Less than 2 years ago, hundreds were raped and murdered at a music festival. It's not just the act but the gormless people clapping along and cheering. People with no idea what real terror is. "They don't understand the evil ideology they're amplifying – and they don't care." A BBC spokesperson said: "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand." Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. They added: "We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. "The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC director general to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer." Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. In reference to his bandmate's upcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would "start a riot outside the courts", before clarifying: "No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine." In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be "appropriate". During the performance, Caireallain said: "The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer." He also said a "big thank you to the Eavis family" and said "they stood strong" amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up. O hAnnaidh, 27, wore a keffiyeh during the set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, who performs under the name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava as well as a T-shirt that said: "We are all Palestine Action", in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group. News broadcasts criticising the hip hop trio played from the sound system before they walked onto the stage were booed by the Glastonbury Festival audience. The trio opened with the song Better Way To Live from their 2024 album Fine Art and also performed tracks including Get Your Brits Out and Hood. Access to the area around the West Holts Stage was closed around 45 minutes before their performance after groups of fans arrived to form a sea of Irish and Palestinian flags. Earlier on Saturday, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but said the performance is likely to be made available on-demand later. O hAnnaidh was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" at a gig in November last year. On June 18, the rapper was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates O Caireallain and O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20. Saturday night's Pyramid Stage headliner, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, opened with the song Sugar Mountain, with Young saying "thank you folks" to the crowd as the song ended. The set list, drawing heavily from live album Live Rust, included songs Be The Rain, When You Dance I Can Really Love, Cinnamon Girl and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black), with lyrics that reference Johnny Rotten, the stage name of Sex Pistols's John Lydon. Charli XCX's performance on the Other Stage saw US singer Gracie Abrams perform the viral Apple dance. As the song began, the British pop star said: "Who the f*** is gonna be Apple girl, Glastonbury?" while holding what appeared to be a glass of wine. The 32-year-old played her Partygirl set at Glastonbury Festival last year, but this time the singer performed on a much bigger stage amid a year that has seen her pick up a slew of awards. Elsewhere at the festival, Haim performed as the surprise act on the Park Stage at 7.30pm, while on the Pyramid Stage, Pulp were revealed to be Patchwork with the Sheffield-formed Britpop band paying homage to their breakthrough 1995 stand-in headline set during the performance. Performing in the coveted Sunday legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart, who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as other guests. Article continues below Sir Rod's performance will come after he postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. US singer Olivia Rodrigo takes the final Sunday slot after opening the British Summer Time Hyde Park concert series on Friday. The BBC is providing livestreams of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park.
