Retrial ordered after no verdict in trial of Farm worker In alleged Cornwall rape

JURORS in the trial of a farmer worker accused of raping a student in Cornwall have been unable to record a verdict.

The jury in the trial of Davlatsho Davlatshoev, a farmer worker at Lower Trevaskis Farm at Conor Downs near Hayle accused of raping a student in Falmouth had been told by Judge Simon Carr that he would accept a majority decision as they had failed to come to a unanimous one after three hours deliberation yesterday (June 24).

But by 3.15pm they had still not come to a decision and were sent home to return to court today.
