JURORS in the trial of a Hampshire man accused of murdering his wife have this morning visited the house where he killed her.
The 12 men and women were taken by coach to Mike Gifford-Hull's home that he shared with wife Kirsi, 38, and their two children.
It is there that he allegedly threw her body from an upstairs window after a violent row in which he strangled her.
Accompanied by Judge Guy Boney QC and prosecution and defence barristers, the jurors were taken inside the property in Harestock Road, Winchester.
They were shown around the house and into an upstairs bedroom where they could be seen examining a window.
The group was also taken into the garage of the large family home, which is secluded from the road and surrounded by trees and a brick wall.
After spending more than an hour at the site they were then taken by coach by Micheldever Woods where, sheltering under umbrellas, they were taken to the spot from where Kirsi body was recovered Gifford-Hull, 43, denies murder but admits killing Kirsi.
