The jury in the Demesne Road murder trial will continue deliberating in the morning.

The twelve jurors retired at lunchtime after Deemster Birkett finished his summing up.

The trial was originally scheduled for thirteen days, the final of which is tomorrow.

Simon Paul Leece denies charges of murder, manslaughter and arson.

It's alleged he started fires at four properties in Douglas in March last year, including one in Demesne Road which resulted in the death of builder Terry Losh.
