A JURY considering whether a teenager is guilty of murder are set to deliberate for a fourth day.
Jurors retired to consider their verdict on Monday after hearing evidence in the case of Elijah Clark, who is accused of stabbing 16-year-old Andy Wood during a drug deal.
Clark, of Gloucester Avenue, Chelmsford, denies further charges of manslaughter, possession of a bladed article, and actual bodily harm.
When the prosecution cross-examined Clark, 18, the teenager said he was defending himself from Andy Wood and his friend who, Clark claims, attacked him in Chelmsford.
The trial continues.
