Christina Robinson dispensed her solicitors and barristers on FridayA mother accused of murdering her three-year-old son has sacked her legal team the day after finishing giving evidence.

Trial judge Mr Justice Garnham, who allowed Robinson to sit where her barrister had been sitting, along with a dock officer, told the jury: 'There's been a development which has delayed us which I need to tell you about. 'The question arises about how we proceed without them being here. We've decided she should have the rest of the day to consider her position and consult with other people if she wishes before we go to the next stage of the case. It means we can do nothing further today.'

She explained she was following a YouTube video about the religion which talked about the Bible encouraging the use of the rod for discipline.Pictured: Forensics at the scene where Dwelaniyah was found 'covered in minor injuries'
