A woman has denied murdering her father, after his body was found in her garden.

Barbara Coombes, 63, of Matlock Road in Reddish, pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder at Manchester Crown Court.

The remains of Kenneth Coombes were found in the garden of her house in January after she allegedly visited a Stockport police station.

He is believed to have died in 2006 and would have been in his late 80s at the time.

Ms Coombes was remanded in custody ahead of a trial, which is due to begin at the court in July.
