Sophie Lionnet: Couple accused of killing French nanny to enter pleas in court

A couple accused of killing a French nanny whose charred remains were found in a garden will appear in court later to enter their pleas.

The body of Sophie Lionnet was discovered at a house in Southfields, south-west London, on September 20.

At first, police were unable to identify the badly burned body but later confirmed it belonged to the 21-year-old Wandsworth resident, who was originally from Troyes in north-east France.

Designer Sabrina Kouider, 34, and her partner Ouissem Medouni, 40, of Wimbledon Park Road, Wandsworth, south London, are charged with her murder.

They are due to appear at the Old Bailey via video link from custody before Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC for a plea and case management hearing.

The pair face a four-week trial starting on March 19 next year.
