Lillis jury to deliberate on six options

THE jury in the Eamonn Lillis murder trial has been given six possible decisions it can make, leading to three possible verdicts, but it has been told that any decision must be unanimous.

Mr Justice Barry White told the Central Criminal Court jury it could either find the 52-year-old guilty of murdering his wife, acquit him altogether, or find him not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.

The TV advert producer has pleaded not guilty to the murder of 46-year-old Celine Cawley on December 15, 2008.
