Man appears in court after human remains found

Daniel Coleman is believed to have died between 2 June and 7 July

A man has appeared in court charged with murder after human remains were found in a woodland.

James Desborough, 39, is accused of the murder of Daniel Coleman, 43, between 2 June and 7 July after remains were found in Sticker, near St Austell, in Cornwall.

Mr Desborough, of Old Oak Woods, Lower Sticker, did not enter a plea when he appeared before a judge at Truro Crown Court.

The court heard he would be asked to enter a plea on 7 November and his trial was due to take place in January. He was remanded in custody.

Defence barrister Ramsay Quaife told the court there could be an application to dismiss the charge in due course.
