A jury was selected this morning for the trial of Julian Felisi, suspected of killing Watford bin man Gary Bennett.

The trial, at St Albans Crown Court, was initially scheduled for a fortnight but could last up to four weeks due to the weight of evidence to be heard.

The court is due to re-convene at 2.30pm this afternoon, when the jury is expected to be shown CCTV evidence.

Mr Bennett, 46, was found dead in Aldenham Country Park with severe head injuries, on February 24.

Julian Felisi, 37, of Whippendell Road, Watford, was arrested and charged with his murder in March.

The pair both worked as bin men for Watford Borough Council at the Wiggenhall Road depot.
