Jury discharged at attempted murder trial

The jury has been discharged at the trial of a former Sydney prison officer accused of trying to murder her estranged husband in a staged car explosion.

Sharon Yarnton, 50, Monique Hayes, 25, and Fady Houda, 24, had pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of Dean Yarnton early on February 1, 2015, at Picnic Point in Sydney's southwest.

On Tuesday, the NSW District Court jury was discharged for legal reasons and the case will be mentioned in the same court on July 3.
