THE jury in the trial of four people accused of murdering gamekeeper Nigel Bacon retired on Friday morning to consider its verdict.
Nigel Bacon was attacked with a knife outside Keeper's Cottage home close to Clumber Park on 26th November last year and died in hospital later that evening.
Twenty-nine-year-old Peter Jacques, of Charlesworth Street, Bolsover, allegedly carried out the attack after being recruited by Mr Bacon's widow, Susan Bacon (55), also of Keeper's Cottage, and son Michael Bacon (21), of Wordsworth Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse.
Michael Bacon's father-in-law Sean Woodcock (42), of Mapletoft Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse, allegedly helped Susan and Michael Bacon contact Jacques and is also accused of murder.
They all deny murder but if the jury finds Jacques not guilty, the three other co-defandents will also be cleared.
