A SINGLE silver wedding rose lay poignantly on the shallow grave where Jenna Brookfield, pictured, was discovered.

This was the third and final place the jury of eight men and four women visited yesterday during their tour of key locations in the murder trial of 36-year-old Michael Baldwin.

A simple stone surround now marks the site.

The road winding past the beauty spot which will forever be associated with tragedy, was cordoned off to other traffic yesterday.

For more than 30 minutes, the jury viewed the lay-by on the B4246, near Fiddler's Elbow, where Jenna's body was found last November.

The coach ferrying the jurors was escorted by two motorbikes, a car and van - and followed by another two cars and a people carrier carrying defence and prosecution counsels and Judge John Griffith Williams, QC.

Jenna's stepfather Michael Baldwin, formerly of Limekiln Road, Pontnewynydd, admits burying the 15-year-old Abersychan Comprehensive pupil in a grave 12 to 18 inches deep. He denies murder.

Yesterday's peaceful scene was one of glorious sunshine. It was in stark contrast to the grim, winter night Jenna's body was discovered.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, the jury were chaperoned on a visit to a murky pool situated 200 yards away from Keeper's Pond, on Blaenavon mountain.

Ramblers and motorcyclists stopping for a break looked bemused to see the entourage at the normally tranquil landmark.

The prosecution allege that two girls playing near the pool last September saw a pair of plastic surgical gloves, some clothing, a white training shoe and a spattering of blood.

When this information was finally relayed to police some two months later, they failed to find any evidence, the court previously heard.

The jury spent 20 minutes there before moving on.

They had left Cardiff crown court that morning at 9.30am and arrived at Jenna's former home, Jasmine Cottage, Ffrwd Road, in Abersychan, at 10.45am.

They spent 40 minutes looking around the house before going into the back garden, which backs on to Jenna's school.

The jury was accompanied by two court ushers but were not allowed to communicate. If they had any questions or queries a note had to be passed to the judge.

The case continues at Cardiff crown court on Monday.
