A JURY have yet to reach a verdict in the trial of Alvin Jay Santos, 25, of Wimborne Road in Bournemouth.
The defendant is accused of murdering 16-year-old Linda Lietaviete at Horseshoe Common on December 12, 2013.
Following around eight hours of deliberations, Judge Keith Cutler has indicated to jurors that he will now accept a majority verdict.
Santos had admitted a charge of manslaughter, but this has not been accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service.
He faced a seven-day trial at Winchester Crown Court.
