A MURDER trial was delayed for legal arguments for much of yesterday.

Jurors trying a couple accused of murdering Huddersfield toddler Leticia Wright were sent from the courtroom at Bradford Crown Court as lawyers debated legal points.

Leticia’s mother Sharon Wright, 23, and her former boyfriend Peter Seaton, 22, have both denied the charge.

The pair are also accused of causing or allowing the death of a child, a charge they also deny.

The four-year-old died at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary last November after paramedics were called to her home in Almondbury Bank, Moldgreen.
