The jury in the April Jones murder trial have visited the home of defendant Mark Bridger, as police released photographs of the 47-year-old’s home.
Jury members visited key locations in Machynlleth, mid-Wales, including Bridger’s former home Mount Pleasant.
The prosecution has stated that traces of April’s blood were found in the house and that bone fragments were found in the ash of a wood burner.
Mark Bridger denies the charges and says he accidentally ran over April with his car, but cannot remember what he did with her body.
