JURORS in the murder trial of mum-of-five Pennie Davis have been sent home for the evening and will continue their deliberations in the morning.

The judge, The Honourable Mr Justice Popplewell, finished his summing up at Winchester Crown Court this afternoon before sending out the jury to consider their verdicts.

The jury has heard evidence over the last seven weeks relating to the brutal stabbing to death of 47-year-old Pennie, from Blackfield, as she tended to her horses in Leygreen Farm near Beaulieu.

Justin Robertson, 36, is charged with her killing on September 2, last year, as well as conspiring to murder her with Ben Carr, 22 and Samantha Maclean, 28. They all deny the charges.
