Thomas Nutt, 45, took part in the 15-minute hearing via a prison video link to Bradford Crown Court and spoke only to confirm his name.

Nutt, of Shirley Grove, Lightcliffe, has been charged with murdering Dawn Walker between October 27 and October 31 last year.

During the hearing before Judge Jonathan Rose, it was confirmed that Nutt’s trial had been listed to begin on July 25 and it is now estimated that it could last up to 10 days.

After discussing the progress of the case with counsel, Judge Rose told Nutt that he was being remanded back into custody, but said he would be brought to the crown court on April 22 for a further case management hearing.
