A jury has begun continuing its deliberations over whether three Taupo men are guilty of the murder of a Taupo drug dealer.
Cody Griffin, 25, Whakapumautanga "Cookie" Clarke, 25, and Daniel Chase, 22, have been on trial in the High Court at Hamilton for just over a week defending charges of murder of Scott John Henry and the aggravated robbery of his backpack.
Lawyers for all accused finished up their closing statements yesterday morning, before Justice Sarah Katz issued her summing up.
She then sent the jury out at 4.15pm yesterday before calling them back in at 5pm.
The jury were then sent home overnight before returning today.
