 | | THE trial in the murder of an Australian missionary and his young sons was adjourned today until next month after a series of hearings had to be postponed because defence lawyers were absent, Indian court officials said. |
 | | Fourteen men are being tried on charges of burning to death Graham Stewart Staines, an Australian Christian missionary, and his sons, Philip, 10, and Timothy, 8, as they slept inside their vehicle outside a church in eastern Orissa state on January 23, 1999. |
 | | Of the six days when hearings were scheduled this month, the trial was held only on April 15, as defence lawyers were absent on the remaining days. |
