Call for new jury in court

-

VICTIMS’ families of Melbourne’s deadly Bourke St rampage are devastated after a jury failed to find murder-accused James “Dimitrious” Gargasoula­s mentally fit for trial.

Jurors were dismissed yesterday after being unable to unanimousl­y agree whether the 28-year-old should stand trial.

It means a second fitness hearing is likely to be held with a new jury to determine if Gargasoula­s is fit to stand trial on six counts of murder and 28 of attempted murder.

The case is due to return to court on July 23.
