Jury ask for heights of Urantsetseg Tserendorj and murder accused

Summary

The jury in the trial of a 16‑year‑old boy accused of murdering Urantsetseg Tserendorj is set to return to the Central Criminal Court to continue deliberations. The jury, composed of five men and seven women, began discussing late on Monday and, in the morning, asked for the relative heights of the accused and the deceased. Justice Mary Ellen Ring informed them that Assistant State Pathologist Dr Heidi Okkers had recorded Ms Tserendorj's height as 1.64 metres (five feet, five inches). The only evidence regarding the accused's height came from a security guard who described him as "skinny" and about 1.7 metres (five feet, seven inches). The jury also requested definitions of murder and manslaughter. The unnamed 16-year-old pleaded not guilty.
