7 Jan
Summary
- A wife accused of murdering her husband will face a new trial.
- The initial jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
- The re-trial is scheduled to commence on June 22.
A woman accused of murdering her husband is set to face a re-trial following an inability for the initial jury to reach a verdict. David Berman, 84, was found dead in March at the couple's residence in Prestwich. His wife, Daryl Berman, 71, was on trial for his murder.
The proceedings took place at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester. However, the judge declared a mistrial because the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision on the charges.
A new trial date has been scheduled for June 22, meaning the legal process for the alleged murder will recommence. The case will continue to be heard in Manchester.
