Joanna Brown murder trial awaiting verdict from jury

The jury are still deliberating their verdict after retiring on Thursday.

Robert Brown, the estranged husband of murdered former Island resident Joanna Brown is awaiting the outcome of his trial today.

The jury are still deliberating their verdict after retiring on Thursday.

It’s alleged BA Pilot Robert had killed Joanna using a claw hammer; her body was then buried in woodland near to her £3 million Ascot home.

The court has heard that there was a long running dispute between the pair concerning divorce proceedings and a pre-nuptial agreement.

He’s admitted killing her but denies murder.

Joanna spent many years on the Island when she was younger, her close family still live here.

An outcome is expected soon.
