Judge Philip Shorrock told the jury of 11 on Tuesday afternoon that a majority verdict would now be accepted.
A jury has been given a majority direction in the trial of Junior Kunu and Mannix Pedro, who are charged with conspiring to commit a £1.38 million robbery at a south-west London jewellery store. The robbery allegedly led to the death of the store’s manager, Oliver White, 27, who took his own life the day after the incident. Judge Philip Shorrock instructed the jury of 11 that a majority verdict would now be accepted, though a unanimous verdict was still preferred. The jury has been deliberating for three days. At least two other individuals believed to be involved in the robbery remain at large.
