JURORS have been sent home after their second day of deliberations in the case of a man accused of murdering his estranged wife and burying her body in a pre-prepared grave.
During an eight-day trial at Reading Crown Court, the jury was told that British Airways pilot Robert Brown, 47, bludgeoned millionairess Joanna Brown, 46, formerly of Badger Hill, York, to death with a claw hammer, believing he had been “stitched up” by a prenuptial agreement.
Brown, of North Street, Winkfield, Berkshire, denies murder and obstructing a coroner from holding an inquest.
