Sharkey murder trial jurors continue third day deliberations The jury in the trial of two men accused of murdering a family in a flat fire has retired to consider its verdicts for a third day. Scott Snowden and Robert Jennings deny murdering 55-year-old Thomas Sharkey Snr, his son Thomas Jnr, 21, and eight year-old daughter Bridget. Mr Sharkey's children died in the blaze at their home in Scott Court, Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, on July 24 2011, while he died of his injuries six days later in hospital. The jurors began considering their verdicts on Monday afternoon but broke off deliberations yesterday as one member fell ill and had to arrange a medical appointment. They resumed their task shortly after 10.30am on Wednesday. Judge Lord Matthews said: "I'm glad to see you are all present and correct." The ten women and five men have heard 11 weeks of evidence at the High Court in Glasgow.
