Sarah Walker, 37, and Scott Walker, 50, both of Century Square in Millfield, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court today charged with killing their 17-year-old daughter, Bernadette.
----
Scott Walker wore a blue polo shirt and jeans, and had a face mask, which was pulled below his chin as he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address. He was flanked by two dock officers.
They were charged with murdering Bernadette on July 20.
Deputy District Judge Matthew Bone told both Scott and Sarah Walker that the case was too serious to be heard at the magistrates’ court, and could only be heard at a crown court. He said the law meant that no bail applications could be heard at today’s hearing.
Both Scott and Sarah Walker were remanded into custody, with Judge Bone telling them the case would be sent to Peterborough Crown Court on Wednesday, September 16. However, he said the case could be heard at Norwich Crown Court.
