Jury retires in wife attack trial

8:17pm Monday 7th July 2008 in Witney

The jury has retired to consider its verdict on a jilted husband accused of masterminding a brutal attack on his wife.

Michael License, formerly of Witney, is alleged to have paid Everton Bailey and another man to beat up Wendy License outside her Dorset home.

License, 55, now of Brockworth, Gloucestershire, and Bailey, 41, of The Chase, Derby, deny conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent.

The jury at Bournemouth Crown Court is due to resume its deliberations tomorrow.
