Alicia murder suspect remanded
Alicia Eborne
Alicia Eborne's body was found 14 miles from her home
A bus driver charged with the murder of Devon teenager Alicia Eborne has been remanded in custody by Torbay magistrates.

Lee Holbrook, 39, from Plymouth, will appear at Exeter Crown Court on Tuesday next week.

Alicia, 18, disappeared 10 days ago after leaving her home in the hamlet of Corntown, near Plymouth, to get a bus.

Her body was found on Sunday on a thickly wooded slope near Denham Bridge on Dartmoor - about 14 miles away.

Holbrook, who was charged with Alicia's murder on Sunday night, arrived at the court in a convoy of three police cars.

He was in one of the police vehicles hidden under a light-blue blanket and accompanied by three police officers.
