The eight women and four men of the jury in the Frankie Dunne murder trial deliberated throughout Thursday and so far have not reached a verdict.

They began their deliberations at 11.33am, broke for lunch and were asked by the trial judge to come back to court at 4.33pm. Mr Justice Paul McDermott then asked them if they wished to continue with their deliberations or to return on Friday. They indicated that they would take the overnight break.
