It looks as though another no-body trial will be taking place in the UK.
'A man has been charged with the murder of a woman who vanished in Leeds 14 years ago.'
'Gemma Simpson was 23 when she was last seen in the Harehills area on 5 May 2000, when she told a friend she was on her way to visit another friend in Huddersfield.'
The man arrested is Martin Bell, 44, of St Leonard's Crescent.
There are some more details about Gemma's case at the link below. She lived away from home so her mother wasn't too alarmed when she didn't hear from her for a day or two. But when she went around to Gemma's home, a window was smashed and she knew there was a problem.
She thought someone might have held a grudge against Gemma because of her sexuality (Gemma was a lesbian).
There have been no sightings of Gemma since that day 14 years ago. Martin Bell is due back in Leeds Crown Court court July 15th. He hasn't entered a plea.
