Tobacco Trial Witness Gives Evidence in Private 

A witness in the murder trial of three British men gave evidence in private today after claiming his life was in danger.

The unnamed man was given consent by a Luxembourg judge to address the court in closed session, in the presence only of lawyers and police officers.

In the dock on the third day of their trial were father and son Keith and Edward Birkinshaw and Glenn Dawson. . . .
