At the committal hearing prosecutor Gavin Silbert SC said that after he was arrested Bayley confessed to police that he raped and strangled Jill and then buried her.
Justice Nettle asked Mr Holt today if there had been any discussions between defence and prosecution about resolving a plea prior to a trial.
Mr Holt said he had only been Bayley's lawyer for a few days and hinted there was a chance of a resolution of the case.
"At the moment I'm giving advice and taking instructions" Mr Holt said.
Mr Silbert told the court the prosecution wishes to introduce evidence that might be controversial in the trial and it would require the judge to decide if it could go before a jury.
Justice Nettle said the parties can argue the point at a special hearing on April 29.
There is that disturbing and sensitive sentiment again - what can it be that's so controversial or more disgusting than what this excuse for a human being has already done.
