Murder suspect awaits verdict

The jury in the trial of the Limerick youth accused of murdering his housemate continues its deliberations today. Three hours and 10 minutes after the jury retired, the Central Criminal Court heard that a unanimous verdict had not been reached. Mr Justice Frederick Morris then said the court would accept a majority verdict of 10 to 2 or 11 to 1. Mr Noel Kelly (19) has denied the murder of John Keane at O'Malley Park estate, Limerick, on July 5th, 1996.
