A man has denied murdering his partner, who was found dead at their home.

Sarah Albone, 38, was discovered dead on Winston Crescent, Biggleswade, Beds, on 25 February after members of her family, who had not seen her since Christmas, reported her missing.

Matthew Waddell, 34, who lived with her at the address, pleaded not guilty at Luton Crown Court to murdering the mother-of-three.

He was remanded in custody ahead of a trial scheduled for 21 August.

At an inquest opening in March, the cause of Ms Albone's death was given as "sharp and blunt force trauma to the head".
