|
||
|
||
Christopher Halliwell, 47, appeared at Bristol Crown Court accused of
|
||
murdering 22-year-old PA Sian, from Swindon, after she went missing from the
|
||
town's Suju nightclub on March 19.
|
||
|
||
Halliwell had arrived at the court building in a motorcade that included
|
||
several police motorcycle outriders, but there was no repeat of the **[angry
|
||
protests which took place][2]** when he appeared in front of magistrates in
|
||
Swindon on Monday.
|
||
|
||
He will next appear at Bristol Crown Court on April 8 via videolink from
|
||
Bristol's Horfield Prison, where he is being held on remand, after no
|
||
application for bail was made.
|
||
|
||
Mr Justice Burnett, at the hearing today, said: ''I'm quite satisfied that
|
||
bail is inappropriate given the nature and circumstances of the alleged
|
||
offences.''
|
||
|
||
At the hearing in Court One Halliwell, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and
|
||
sky blue tie and flanked by four security guards, spoke only to confirm his
|
||
identity.
