Ill Yarl's Wood juror discharged
Yarl's Wood
The jury heard weeks of evidence before deliberations began
One of the jurors trying five men accused of taking part in arson attacks on an asylum detention centre was discharged on Tuesday because of ill health.

The woman was released after a doctor's certificate was presented to Judge Roger Sanders at London's Harrow Crown Court.

The jury, which is now deliberating on the three-month trial, is now down to 10 - seven men and three women.

Another juror had been earlier discharged due to ill health.

Nigerians Lucky Jacobs, 23, Henry Momodou, 39, Kayode Abdul, 24, and Kosovan Albanians Behar Limani, 26, and Jgergi Tuka, 25, all deny violent disorder at the Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire, between 16 and 16 February last year.

The �100,000 showpiece Home Office detention centre was destroyed in the fire.
