MY LAI, Vietnam - Just before dawn, the ritual begins.

People gather around stone statues, some whispering prayers, others crying.

Every year, hundreds of Vietnamese travel to the memorial

that marks the day the soldiers swept into the tiny village before sunrise

expecting to meet enemy soldiers.

Instead, the soldiers found a thriving hamlet.

In just 41/2 hours, the U.S. Army's 11th Brigade went on a rampage

that shook the American military to its core.

When it was over, about 500 people lay dead - unarmed men, women, and children -

some herded into a ditch and sprayed with bullets,

their bloodied bodies stacked on top of one another.

The jury in the Soham murder trial is expected to be sent out today to consider its verdicts,

after the judge warned them not to let emotion influence them in this "tragic case".

Mr Justice Moses said it was "idle to pretend"

that the deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman

did not provoke a strong response

but that their judgement must be made on the evidence alone.
