Law 'doesn’t allow for pay-back', jury told in father-murder case

The jury in the trial of a 23-year-old man charged with the murder of his father has been told that the law does not allow for "pay-back time".

Patrick Gageby SC was referring in his closing speech to a phrase the defendant used to describe the fatal beating he gave his father with a spade, after enduring 21 years of his violence.
