Jury to return after failing to reach unanimous verdict in Nadine Lott murder trial

Mr Justice Michael MacGrath told the jury on leaving: "Don't speak to anyone about the case and keep as far away as possible from media coverage."

The jury has heard that Nadine Lott suffered "severe blunt force trauma" and stab injuries at the hands of her former partner "in a sustained and violent attack" in her Arklow home. File photo

A jury will return to the Central Criminal Court tomorrow to consider its verdict in the trial of a man accused of murdering his former partner Nadine Lott by inflicting "severe blunt force trauma" injuries to her in a "sustained attack" in her Arklow home.

The jury of seven men and five women began considering their verdict this morning and have spent a total of four hours and 18 minutes deliberating in another courtroom in the Criminal Courts of Justice building.
