 The jury heard weeks of evidence before deliberations began |
The jury in the case against four men accused of taking part in disorder during a major fire at an asylum detention centre was continuing to consider its verdict on Thursday. Yarl's Wood in Bedfordshire was reduced to ruin after a riot last February destroyed the flagship centre.
The jury of seven men and three women - two jurors were discharged due to ill health - has been deliberating over the three month trial for more than a week.
Nigerian asylum seekers Lucky Jacobs, 23, Kayode Abdul, 24, and Kosovo Albanians Behar Limani, 26, and Jgergi Tuka, 25 all deny one charge of violent disorder.
On Wednesday, Nigerian Henry Momodou, 39, was found guilty of violent disorder but not guilty of arson by the jury at Harrow Crown Court.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the end of the trial.
