Newlove jury sent home
The jury in the trial of five teenagers accused of kicking a man to death has been sent home after a fifth day of deliberations.
Father-of-three Garry Newlove, 47, was attacked outside his home in Fearnhead, Warrington, Cheshire, on August 10 after a confrontation with a gang of youths.
The prosecution at Chester Crown Court says the sales manager was punched to the ground and kicked "as if he were a football".
Mr Newlove had left his house barefoot to remonstrate with a gang over vandalism to cars parked outside.
He was knocked unconscious and died at Warrington General Hospital two days later.
The five suspects - two 17-year-olds, a 16-year-old, a 15-year-old and 19-year-old Adam Swellings from Crewe, Cheshire - deny murder.
