Lacey trial adjourned for a second time

A TRIAL involving two Gold Coast brothers accused of abducting and torturing a man over a drug debt has been adjourned for a second time this week.

Judge Tony Rafter, SC, told a District Court jury in Brisbane on Friday that Owen Colin Matthews, the alleged victim, was still not well enough to continue giving evidence.

"I have conceded an application to further adjourn the trial to Monday morning," he told the jury.

Gold Coast brothers Jade Lacey, 26, and Dionne Lacey, 22, have pleaded not guilty to the alleged torture of Mr Matthews on a small island off the Gold Coast in April 2007.

They are each charged with assault occasioning bodily harm while armed in company, extortion, threatening violence, torture, malicious act with intent and deprivation of liberty.

The case has been adjourned to 10am (AEST) on Monday.
