Following the murder of Joanna Yeates in December 2010 in the Clifton area of Bristol, Vincent Tabak, 33 appeared at the Old Bailey today (Thursday May 5) charged with her murder.
At the short plea and directions hearing Mr Tabak entered a plea of not guilty to murder but admitted manslaughter.
The case has now been adjourned for trial at Bristol Crown Court on October 4, 2011.
Detective Chief Inspector Phillip Jones said: "The not guilty plea to Joanna Yeates murder entered by Vincent Tabak today at the Old Bailey means that there will be a full trial in due course.
"Tabak has entered a plea to manslaughter however this has not been accepted by the Crown.
"Until this trial takes place it would be inappropriate and potentially prejudicial for us to comment further."
