A 36 year old man charged with the murder of a Saundersfoot woman has been told he will soon be asked to enter a plea.

The case against Arthur Pitt-Pladdy was discussed by barristers before Judge John Diehl at Swansea crown court on Friday.

Pitt-Pladdy, of no fixed address, did not attend the hearing and remains in custody.

Judge Diehl was told the prosecution case against Pitt-Pladdy would be complete by mid December and he fixed December 19 as the date when the charge will be put to the defendant.

Ms Kim Butler, a 44 year old mother, was found stabbed to death in her flat in Saundersfoot in August.
