The jury in the Sharon Beshenivsky murder trial was sent home for the second night after failing to reach verdicts.

The jury of six women and five men will return to Newcastle Crown Court tomorrow to continue with its deliberation.

The judge, Mr Justice Andrew Smith, told them: "You have been deliberating all day. I am not going to ask you to continue your deliberations further today. I'm going to allow you to go home and continue your deliberations tomorrow."

The judge repeated his warning to the jury not to speak to anyone or allow anyone to speak to them about the case and not to discuss it among themselves until they retired to carry on considering the verdicts.

PC Beshenivsky was killed and PC Teresa Milburn seriously injured when they were shot outside the premises of the Universal Express travel agents in Bradford city centre on November 18 last year.

Yusuf Abdillh Jamma, 20, of Small Heath, Birmingham; Raza Ul-Haq Aslam, 25, of Kentish Town, London; and brothers Faisal Razzaq, 25, and Hassan Razzaq, 26, both of Forest Gate, London, all deny the murder of PC Beshenivsky and two charges of possessing firearms with intent to endanger life, a 9mm self-loading pistol and a Mac-10 sub-machine gun.

The Razzaqs and Aslam also plead not guilty to robbery and two counts of possessing prohibited weapons, the two guns. Jamma has admitted those charges.

Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah, 25, of London, has been cleared on the direction of the judge of the attempted murder of PC Teresa Milburn. He has pleaded guilty to all the other charges and will be sentenced when verdicts on the other defendants have been reached.
