## Summary

The prosecution and defence have finished presenting their cases in Russell Brand’s trial, and closing arguments are expected tomorrow. His wife, Laura Brand, gave evidence describing him as a caring lover during their relationship, while the jury is expected to begin deliberations on 3 November.

Laura said she met Brand in August 2006, began a sexual relationship the following month and separated from him in February 2007 after he was unfaithful. She told the court they were not together in 2009, when one complainant alleges he raped her. Brand faces three rape charges, three sexual assault charges and one attempted indecent assault charge over alleged offences between 1999 and 2009; two former girlfriends also provided statements describing him as gentle and loving.
