On Thursday last, the prosecution and defence gave closing statements. Justice Barlow adjourned the matter to May 24 when she will make her summation.

Following that, the judge will hand over the case to a 12-member jury for consideration which will result in a verdict.
Based on reports, Breedy’s body was found, with hands and feet bound, on the lower flat of his two-storey house.

It was also reported that he sustained multiple injuries to his head.
It is believed that, after the act was committed, the perpetrators made off with his Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and other belongings, including an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card.
