    Trial Under Way Of The Man Accused Of The Murder Of Local MP Jo Cox

    Monday, 14 November 2016 15:28

    The jury has been sworn in at the Old Bailey for the trial of a man accused of murdering Batley & Spen MP Jo Cox.

    Thomas Mair faces a three week trial for shooting and stabbing 41-year-old Jo Cox to death outside her constituency office in June this year. He denies murdering the MP.

    Mair, 53, of Birstall, is also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to commit murder, possession of an offensive weapon – namely a dagger, and causing grievous bodily harm to passer-by Bernard Kenny who risked his own life to save Jo Cox.

    Trial judge Mr Justice Wilkie has warned the jury not to research the case online due to the considerable publicity.
