Black 'unable to answer questions'

Serial killer Robert Black refused to enter the witness box and look the jury in the eye in his latest murder trial because he knows he is guilty, the prosecution has claimed.

The notorious paedophile realised he could not answer the questions the Crown wished to ask him about the abduction and murder of nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy, Crown lawyer Toby Hedworth told Armagh Crown Court.
