The judge in the trial of two sisters accused of murdering a man in Co Dublin last year has told the jury he will accept a majority verdict in the case.
23-year-old Charlotte Mulhall and 31-year-old Linda Mulhall, from Kilclare Gardens in Tallaght, have both pleaded not guilty to the murder of 38-year-old Farah Swaleh Noor, also known as Sheilila Salim, in Ballybough on 20 March last year.
The jury had been deliberating for five hours and 26 minutes when Mr Justice Paul Carney told them he would accept a majority verdict in which at least 10 jurors formed the majority.
He told the jury that a unanimous verdict was still desirable.
