A man accused of murdering a burglar has been cleared after a jury failed to reach a verdict on the charges.
Karl Townsend and Jamie Cunningham were on trial accused of murdering Jordan Brophy in Beechwood Avenue, Halewood, Merseyside, after he and three other men broke into the home Townsend shared with his partner and their child.
But after Cunningham has been cleared of murder charges, Townsend is set for a possible retrial.
