THE JURY in the Eamonn Lillis murder trial at the Central Criminal Court will resume its deliberations this morning.
Yesterday the six women and six men listened to a recording of Mr Lillis giving his evidence up until the point where he said he dialled 999.
They also listened to the recording of that call.
Mr Lillis (52), a TV advertising producer, who is originally from Terenure in Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife Celine Cawley (46), while their teenaged daughter was at school.
He first said he had found an intruder attacking her on the morning of December 15th, 2008, at their home, Rowan Hill, Windgate Road, Howth, Co Dublin. He has since admitted that there was no intruder.
The jury was sent home for a second evening yesterday after deliberating all day.
Mr Justice Barry White told the jurors they had had a long day and sent them home shortly after 5.30pm, following 5½ hours of deliberations that began on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Justice White said he would give the jurors further directions in relation to their verdict this morning, at which stage they could then resume their deliberations.
