The man accused of murdering academic Dr Barbara Johnston will not be taking the witness stand to give evidence.
Michael Humphries, 43, of Faringdon, is on trial at Oxford Crown Court.
Julian Baughan, defending, said yesterday that Humphries had chosen not to give evidence.
Dr Johnston was allegedly stabbed, beaten, strangled and suffocated in her flat in Woodstock Close, Oxford.
The trial continues.
