The jury in the trial of a Belfast man, Mr Andre Shoukri, accused of the manslaughter of a Dublin-based tennis player, Mr Gareth Parker, was dismissed last night after failing to reach a verdict in the case.
Mr Shoukri (20), from Westland Way, who admits punching Mr Parker (23) moments before a car ran over his head outside a bar on Belfast's Antrim Road in June last year, denies his unlawful killing.
