Since February 5 this year, seven co-defendants have stood trial over their role in the attack.

His Honour Judge Rupert Mayo told the jury: "You've been hearing evidence in this case since February. My own notes on what witnesses have said runs to 133 pages on my laptop.

"But it is irrelevant what I think. What you can do and what you should do is to reach your own conclusions. These decisions are not be taken by any lawyer, including me, but by you."
