Overview
- Proceedings at Doncaster Crown Court concluded the evidence phase after Calum Sunderland repeatedly left the witness box and declined further questions.
- The trial is adjourned until Friday, when the judge is expected to give legal directions to the jury.
- Sunderland insisted he was recruited to burn a car for payment and believed the house was empty, a claim prosecutors challenged as untrue.
- Jurors were shown Ring doorbell footage of Sunderland carrying a petrol can and kicking the door before running off, as the Crown alleges Sharaz Ali set the fatal blaze in revenge.
- Sunderland told the court Ali sold drugs and that he had done work for him, while both defendants deny murdering Bryonie Gawith and her three children; co-defendant Mohammed Shabir died on remand.
