Man in court accused over murder of two girls aged nine
Russell Bishop is accused of the murder of two girls in 1988
The girls were found dead in Wild Park, near the Moulscoomb estate in Brighton, on October 9, 1986. Yesterday, the 51-year-old made a brief appearance at the Old Bailey via video link.
Wearing a black-and-white striped T-shirt, bespectacled Bishop sat with his arms crossed as he listened to proceedings.
He spoke to confirm his name and when asked to enter pleas to the two murder charges.
As the lady clerk read out the indictment, he replied: “Not guilty, ma’am.”
