The jury hearing the trial of a man accused of a Norwich city centre crime spree has been sent home for the night.
Norwich Crown Court has heard that Jake Killick, 23, 'marauded' around the city centre carrying out sex attacks and robberies in March last year.
Killick, of Whitemoor Prison, is on trial accused of six rapes, three robberies, sexual assault and false imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence on March 30.
Killick has also denied two other charges – rape and breaching a restraining order – both on January 5 last year.
The jury of seven men and five women were sent out by Judge Stephen Holt at 12.46pm on Tuesday (January 23) after he finished summing up the case.
They were sent home just before 4.30pm and will resume deliberations on Wednesday morning (January 24).
Judge Holt sent them home with a warning that they must not discuss the case with anyone outside their number.
The trial continues.
