April Jones murder trial: Unkempt scene inside Mark Bridger's home revealed
Images of the home of the man accused of murdering five-year-old April Jones have been released after members of the jury visited the scene of the alleged crime.
Mark Bridger, 47, denies abducting and murdering April, who disappeared near her home in Machynlleth on October 1, 2012.
Jurors arrived to see key locations in connection with the case before heading to the defendant's home nearby.
They were led in small groups around the home where prosecutors claim April's body was disposed of.
The cottage was unkempt but otherwise normal, with family photographs on the wall and clothes strewn on the floor.
Prosecutors have told Mold Crown Court that blood and bone fragments found there were April's.
The jury, who spent two-and-a half hours in the Machynlleth area, were today back at Mold Crown Court, where they were hearing evidence from April's parents Coral and Paul Jones.
They were expected to explain the events following April's disappearance in written evidence read out in court.
The jury was taken to the defendant's cottage yesterday by coach and entered four at a time.
The first of the jury members later emerged from the house with two police officers standing nearby, preventing anyone approaching. Other jury members stood in the front garden awaiting their turn.
They spent up to 10 minutes inside the cottage, which stands at the top of the village, up a slight hill and near the river Dulas.
There was no other noticeable activity in the village and no traffic was allowed through during the jury visit.
