Teenager denies murder and rape

A teenager has denied raping and murdering his 92-year-old great-grandmother.

Jamie Limbrick pleaded not guilty to the murder and rape of Marjorie Davis between 1 and 4 September, 2003.

Mrs Davies' body was found in her farmhouse building at Upleadon, Gloucs, in September 2003.

At Bristol Crown Court Mr Limbrick, 18, also denied arson and theft counts of theft. He was remanded in custody until the court case on 16 July.

The farmhouse owned by Mrs Davis's daughter and son-in-law, had been badly damaged by fire.

The three theft charges relate to a debit card, £200 in cash and £50 in cash belonging to Mrs Davis.

In court on Friday, Mr Limbrick spoke to confirm his name and deny each of the six charges.
