The man accused of killing Joanna Yeates was remanded in custody again today after his legal team declined to make a bail application.

Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak, Ms Yeates’s next door neighbour, appeared at Bristol Crown Court for a bail hearing this morning.

No application was made for bail and he was remanded to appear at the same court next Monday.

Ms Yeates, (25), went missing on December 17th 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, Christopher Jefferies (65), 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.
