text: The man accused of murdering bride-to-be Stephanie Scott is like an invisible man in the small rural town he moved to just 13 months ago. Leeton has a close-knit community of only 6,700 people, but little is known of the casual school cleaner who has swept the halls of Leeton High School since October. The 24-year-old man charged with the murder of local English and drama teacher Ms Scott on Easter Sunday was born in Tasmania and lived in Holland with his family before returning to Australia as an adult. Vincent Stanford moved into a single-storey home with his mother and elder brother in Leeton, in the Riverina region of New South Wales, which is 550 kilometres south-west of Sydney and 450km north of Melbourne, with just a small bag of belongings each. His neighbours in Maiden Avenue say the family were welcomed by the community but Vincent Stanford made few connections. Scroll down for video .

Mrs Scanlan said the accused and his family mostly kept to themselves but were friendly and 'would come over for a cup of coffee'. His mother Anika, a qualified nurse, worked at a local nursing home and Stanford, along with his brother Luke, worked shift work so Mr Scanlan said they did not see the family often.

They really look identical. Vincent is a little broader and fatter in the face but you can’t mistake who it is,’ he told Daily Mail Australia. ‘They look exactly the same in the face – the image of each other. He also has the same receding hairline. Looking at him is like looking at Vincent.’ Vincent Stanford's identical twin brother (pictured) returned from Holland and now lives in South Australia .
