Sex worker Vasillica Bornescu, aged 34, is jointly accused with her partner and pimp Ovidiu Gurita of the murder of Ricardo Maragliano at a house in Thorneycroft Lane, Wednesfield on May 30, 2023.
The jury in the case at Wolverhampton Crown Court was sent out on Thursday afternoon and came back this morning (Monday) with no verdict given.
Bornescu, of Anlaby Road, Hull and Gurita of Bath Road, Worcester have already pleaded guilty to administering a drug with intent to commit theft and conspiracy to supply a controlled drug of class A.
They are also facing charges of robbery and administering or causing the victim to ingest a substance with the intent to commit a crime.
They deny those charges and the trial continues.
