The jury in the trial of a man accused of murdering his wife by slashing her throat at their home in Wilton asked on Tuesday morning to see again the CCTV evidence of the accused purchasing a carving knife two days before his wife’s death.

Arrangements were made to have this CCTV evidence replayed in the jury room as part of their second day of deliberations in the case.
