The case for the defence in the Heather Barnett murder trial is starting to be presented today, as it nears the end of week five.

Thirty-nine year old Italian national Danilo Restivo denies killing the mum of two at her Charminster home in November 2002.

Prosecuters have previously set out how Heather's body was found mutilated with clumps of someone else's hair in her hand, and claimed that Restivo had a hair fetish.
