Acid Attack: Jurors in Old Malden man Billy Midmore's trial retire to consider verdict

The seven men and five women have been instructed by the judge to decide whether Billy Midmore is guilty or innocent based only on the evidence they have heard in court.

It follows seven days of evidence in the trial of Midmore, 22, who denies a "joint enterprise" acid attack with his brother Geoffrey of Carla Whitlock outside of Turtle Bay in Guildhall Square on September 18 last year.

The trial:

• Billy Midmore trial: Old Malden brothers seen giving high fives after Southampton acid attack
• Old Malden Midmore brothers stayed with friends and family while on the run from police after Southampton acid attack
• Acid attack: Old Malden man Billy Midmore's trial hears witnesses describe 'screams of agony' after attack
• Acid attack: Trial of Old Malden man, Billy Midmore, halted as defendant's clothes not washed in prison
• "This is the one. Face melter": Court hears texts between Old Malden man Geoffrey Midmore and friend after acid attack

Prosecuting Kerry Maylin told jurors in the trial of Billy Midmore at Southampton Crown Court that he had taken part in a “joint enterprise” by working with his brother to arrange an attack with One Shot drain cleaner.

Defending, Mark Ruffell said there were “inaccuracies” in the evidence given by the crown and argued Midmore is innocent because he had left his brother before they went Turtle Bay that night.

Geoffrey Midmore, 26 has admitted to one charge of causing GBH with intent while his brother has denied the same charge.
