Jury discharged after failing to reach verdicts

The jury in the trial of former Manchester United player Ryan Giggs has been discharged after failing to reach verdicts on any of the charges.

The 48-year-old denied headbutting ex-partner Kate Greville, 38, during a row at his home in November 2020.

He also denied controlling behaviour, as well as assaulting Ms Greville's sister Emma, 26, at Manchester Crown Court.

Any retrial will not take place until at least 5 June 2023, the judge said.

Mr Giggs' head dropped when he heard how long it could take for the case to conclude.

Ryan Giggs is facing a possible retrial in June next year after a jury failed to reach verdicts on charges of assault and controlling behaviour.
