Guilty verdict in Grace Millane murder trial

From Checkpoint, 5:50 pm on 22 November 2019

The jury in the trial of the man accused of killing Grace Millane has found the accused guilty of her murder.

At 4.10pm the jury asked a question - wanting to clarify what the wording meant in part of the question trail they are considering in their deliberations.

They asked what a question meant when it said "when he applied pressure" - whether when it was when pressure was first applied to Ms Millane's neck or at at any point during the period of pressure.

Justice Moore told the jury that "when he applied pressure" wasn't limited to the beginning of this time period and it could be at any time during the application for force leading to Ms Millane's death.
