Trial date set for two men charged with offences relating to Harrogate woman's murder

    Two men will stand trial in connection with the death of a woman whose remains were found in Doncaster earlier this month.

    Susan Howells, 52, was last seen in Harrogate in February and reported missing to police in August.

    Following an extensive investigation, West Yorkshire Police found human remains on private land in Station Road in Doncaster on 5 October, and forensic tests confirmed they were those of Ms Howells.

    Subsequently, two men were charged with offences relating to her murder and were remanded in custody to appear before Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday.

    Dale Tarbox, 39, of no fixed abode, was charged with the murder of Ms Howells and has denied the charges.

    Keith Wadsworth, 60, of Southend in Dunscroft, Doncaster, who appeared alongside Tarbox at court, was charged with prevention of a lawful and decent burial and has also denied the charges.

    Both men are due to stand trial at Leeds Crown Court on 16 March 2020.
