A man has been charged with murdering two women more than a year apart, including one who disappeared from an off-licence last month.

Naomi Hunte, 41, was stabbed to death at an address in Greenwich, southeast London, on Valentine’s Day last year, while the second woman, Fiona Holm, 48, was last seen leaving a shop in Bromley on 20 June this year.

Ms Holm was reported missing on 29 June and has not been heard from since, with police saying her disappearance is out of character.


Due to the amount of time since she was last seen alive in Verdant Lane, the Metropolitan Police are now treating her disappearance as a murder investigation.

Carol Cooper, 65, was initially arrested on suspicion of Ms Hunte’s murder on 18 February 2022. He was bailed pending further inquiries before being released under investigation.

He’d been in relationships with both women at different times.

Thameside prison was unable produce Cooper in person or by video link for his first scheduled appearance at the Old Bailey today.

Judge Richard Marks KC continued the hearing in his absence, setting a plea hearing on October 3 and a four-week trial from June 4 2024 before a High Court judge.

The judge ordered arrangements should be made for the defendant to appear in court on Wednesday so he can find out what had been said about his case."

Do you know which house this was? As i am in contact with a man who takes drone images around Verdant Lane (5 mins from me) and i am trying to get him to go through his images from back in june, as he seems to take them almost daily, you never know what they might entail!
