The custody of a 32-year-old Dutchman charged with the murder of his 25-year-old neighbour Joanna Yeates in the English city of Bristol has been extended by a number of months.

Vincent Tabak will remain in custody until 4 May according to the British media. He attended a court hearing by video link and only confirmed his name and that the link worked. He did not request bail.

The frozen body of Ms Yeates was found on a country road on Christmas Day, eight days after she went missing. Just over a week later, Vicent Tabak, a Dutch engineer, was arrested for her murder.
