The jury is still out in the trial of the man accused of murdering Grace Millane.

The 27-year-man - who has name suppression - has been on trial in the High Court at Auckland for the past three weeks.

On Friday, Justice Simon Moore summed up the case to the jury of seven women and five men, before they retired to consider their verdict at lunchtime.

In the past hour, the jury has returned to court to ask a question and have indicated to Justice Moore they are close to a verdict.
