The jury had been deliberating for more than 12 hours since retiring to consider a verdict on Monday, October 17.

It indicated it was struggling to reach a verdict, asking several questions over three days, but were informed by Justice John Byrne that they had to persevere to reach a unanimous result.

Tostee had pleaded not guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to murdering New Zealand tourist, Wright, 26, on August 8, 2014 after she fell from his balcony in the early hours of the morning.

During the trial the court had heard that Tostee had restrained Wright before forcing her out onto the balcony and locking the door on her because she threw decorative rocks at him after the pair had engaged in drunken sex.

When the verdict was read out there were gasps heard throughout the courtroom.

Presenting himself with his lawyer after leaving the Brisbane Supreme Court, Gable Tostee had nothing to say to the media.
