The next-door neighbour of Joanna Yeates appeared in court today accused of her murder.
Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak was remanded in custody at Bristol Magistrates’ Court charged with killing the 25-year-old landscape architect.
Tabak (32) of Canynge Road, Clifton, Bristol, who works at Buro Happold in Bath, was arrested last Thursday.
It is understood he was detained at an address in Aberdeen Road, Cotham, about a mile from his home, where he is thought to have been staying.
He was remanded in custody for a week to appear next at Bristol Crown Court on the murder charge.
But the court was told today that he may also appear at the crown court tomorrow for a bail hearing.
Ms Yeates, (25), went missing on December 17 after buying a pizza and two bottles of cider on her way home from a Bristol pub.
Her body was found on Christmas Day covered in snow by the side of a country lane around two miles from her flat, eight days after she disappeared. She had been strangled.
Ms Yeates's landlord, 65-year-old Christopher Jefferies who lived in the same building in the Clifton area of the city, was arrested in December on suspicion of her murder but was later released without charge on police bail.
