Tweeter faces Tabak charge

A blogger accused of tweeting sensitive evidence about Joanna Yeates's murderer during his trial could face legal proceedings.

The jury considering the case of Vincent Tabak were not told that he was a fan of submission pornography or that he visited sex sites for escorts until after he was found guilty of murder last Friday.

The Attorney General is now considering whether to take action over a tweet revealing the evidence during the trial. The suspect was arrested last week.
