Verdict in Oswaldtwistle murder trial could be returned on Monday
The jury in a murder trial have been told to return to court on Monday when a judge will direct them to consider their verdict after two weeks of hearing evidence at Preston Crown Court.
On Friday, judge Suzanne Goddard finished summing up the evidence in the case, and directed jurors to consider what they had heard, but to return on Monday when she would officially send them to deliberate.
Last year, Nathan Williams, 31, of Mount Pleasant Street, Oswaldtwistle, was charged with the murder of 65-year-old Stuart Newton, after he was attacked outside a house in Worsley Court on February 12.
