Husband denies body-in-box murder

A man has denied murdering his wife, whose body was found in a car roof box in their Sussex garden.

Frenchman Andre Genestin, 48, pleaded not guilty at Lewes Crown Court to the murder of his wife Catherine, 37.

The body of Mrs Genestin was found in the garden of her home in Maresfield Road, Brighton, on 27 June last year.

A post-mortem examination showed she died from head injuries. Mr Genestin was remanded in custody to appear for trial on 28 April.
