The trial's started of a man accused of murdering his Weston housemate.

Bradley Bessant allegedly beat, kicked and stamped Mark Pinnell to death at a house they shared with others in Ashcombe Road in 2009, in an argument over a bottle of vodka.

Thirty-nine year old Pinnell's body was found with all-but-two ribs broken, multiple bruises and a ruptured liver.
