A man accused of the murder of two women is due to face trial.
Mark Brown, 40, of Squirrel Close, St Leonards, arrived at Lewes Crown Court earlier this afternoon.
He was seen dressed in a green and yellow jumpsuit, being led in handcuffs from a police vehicle.
Both women disappeared in the Hastings area.
While the remains of Alexandra were discovered by police, Leah’s body has yet to be found.
Brown was charged with murdering Leah in May last year and was charged with the murder of Alexandra six months later.
His trial is set to last up to five weeks.
