Langdown Road in Hythe
A JURY has been sworn in for the trial of a man accused of murdering his identical twin brother.
The jury of nine men and three women, will oversee the trial of Robert Cerqua at Winchester Crown Court.
Cerqua, of Langdown Road, Hythe, is accused of murdering his twin brother Chris, a carpenter, at their parents' home in Hythe on New Year's Eve last year.
Cerqua, who wore a white striped shirt and purple tie for the hearing, showed no emotion as he sat in the dock.
The 31-year-old pleaded not guilty to murder at a hearing in February this year.
The trial is expected to last between two to three weeks.
