Yangon, July 27 (DPA) A court in Yangon's Insein Prison Monday extended by a day the trial of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her two aides and a US national who swam to her lakeside home three months ago.

Defence and prosecution lawyers presented their final arguments Monday in the case against Suu Kyi's two housekeepers, Khin Win and Win Ma Ma, and John William Yettaw, who swam to Suu Kyi's house-cum-prison May 3 and stayed there until May 5.

At the end of the hearing, the court allowed the defence another hearing Tuesday to permit it to present its answers to the prosecution's arguments, court sources said.

Suu Kyi, who has been confined for 13 of the past 19 years, faces an additional five years of detention for breaching the terms of her house arrest after Yettaw's intrusion.

Her housekeepers face similar charges for facilitating Yettaw's uninvited visit, and Yettaw himself has been charged with violating the terms of his visa and swimming illegally in Yangon's Inya Lake.

Lawyers presented their final arguments in Suu Kyi's case Friday. It was not yet known when the court would issue its verdicts in the four cases.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been accused of breaking the terms of her detention by allowing Yettaw to enter her compound without informing the authorities.

On Friday, the prison court heard her lead attorney, U Kyi Win, present the 30-page defence case that she was an innocent party to an intrusion that should have been prevented by her military guards.
