A jury in the trial of builder accused of leaving customers out of pocket and with shoddy or unfinished building work has been sent out to consider its verdicts.

John Miller, of Three Mile Lane, Costessey, specialises in house extensions, but customers have complained about nine of his projects, costing £250,000 in total.

The 46-year-old is on trial at Norwich Crown Court for fraudulent trading and money laundering, which he denies.

The prosecution has been brought by Norfolk County Council trading standards.

Judge Stephen Holt summed up the case to the jury of eight men and four women on Wednesday (January 30) afternoon and sent them out to consider their verdicts at just after 10.12am today (Thursday, January 31).

Miller's wife Catherine, 38 had faced a single count of money laundering, which was a joint charge with her husband, but she was cleared on the direction of Judge Holt earlier in the trial.
