A MAN is due to stand trial this week charged with the murder of a 26-year-old Greenock woman whose body was found in an English churchyard.

Paul Neilson, 30, is accused of murdering Colette Law in Spalding, Lincolnshire in July last year.

Greenock Telegraph:

Colette’s body was found in a tent in the grounds of St Mary and St Nicolas Church seven days after it is alleged Neilson committed the murder.

Neilson pleaded not guilty at Lincoln Crown Court last month, with a trial originally set to begin today.

The Telegraph understands the hearing has been pushed back until tomorrow, due to a case running over from last week.

The trial is expected to last three days.
