A jury has been sent home for the weekend after deliberating for more than 19 hours in the trial of six men accused of murdering a Hell's Angel.

The panel, which will resume its discussions at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, has heard seven weeks of evidence about the killing of Gerry Tobin on the M40 in August last year.

Mr Justice Treacy reminded members of the jury that they must not discuss the case with anyone else during the weekend.

Simon Turner, a 41-year-old from Nuneaton, and 53-year-old Malcolm Bull, from Milton Keynes, are on trial alongside four men from Coventry - Karl Garside, 45, his brother Dane Garside, 42, Dean Taylor, 47, and 46-year-old Ian Cameron.

All the defendants deny murder and possessing two shotguns.

Mr Tobin, a mechanic from Mottingham, south east London, was returning from the Bulldog Bash bikers' festival when he was shot near Warwick services on August 12 2007.
