A MAN accused of murdering primary school teacher Sabina Nessa is expected to enter his plea in court.
Koci Selamaj allegedly travelled to London from his home in Eastbourne to carry out a pre-meditated and predatory attack.
It is claimed the 36-year-old struck Sabina as she walked through Cator Park in Kidbrooke, London, on her way to meet a friend on September 17.

The body of the 28-year-old was found nearly 24 hours later covered with grass near a community centre in the park.
It is believed that Ms Nessa’s attacker was a complete stranger to her.
Selamaj, a garage worker, was arrested in Terminus Road in Eastbourne and charged with her murder.
He is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Thursday for a plea and directions hearing.
The defendant, who is in custody, will appear before senior judge Mr Justice Wall.
