Claire Holland murder trial to begin in March
A man charged with her murder has appeared in court today
A man charged with the murder of a missing Bristol woman will go on trial next year.
Darren Osment is accused of the murder of Claire Holland, who hasn't been seen since leaving a pub in the city centre more than ten years ago.
The 40 year old from Chessel Drive in Patchway didn't enter a plea.
He faces a three week trial before a High Court judge beginning on March the 13th 2023.
Claire Holland, from the Lawrence Weston area of Bristol, was last seen leaving city-centre pub Seamus O'Donnell's at 11.15pm on June 6 2012, the day after the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend.
She was reported missing a few days later, and has not been seen or heard from since despite several mass searches and appeals for information.
