The Leeds man is accused of murdering his wife
At this stage, the judge said only a unanimous verdict would be acceptable and no time limit has been imposed.
The court was told during the trial that Mrs Barrott, 50, had planned to leave her husband on the day that she died, having suffered years of controlling behaviour at his hands. After she tried to leave, they became entangled in a scuffle and Mr Barrott hit his wife to the head with hammer, before the pair grabbed each other’s throats.He strangled her until she stopped breathing, but says he had no intention of killing his wife and said he did not even know she was dead.
