The man accused of murdering landscape architect Joanna Yeates today sensationally admitted killing her.

Vincent Tabak pleaded not guilty to murder but did admit to manslaughter - a plea that prosecutors did not accept meaning the case will now go to trial. He appeared today by videolink at the Old Bailey from Long Lartin prison.

Speaking only to confirm his name and agree that proceedings should be held in English he wore a dark suit, blue tie and glasses with his hands folded in front of him.

Miss Yeates' parents were in court to hear him confess to the killing and the trial, expected to last four weeks, will be heard at Winchester Crown Court on October 4.

Tabak, 33, was Miss Yeates' neighbour in Clifton where the 25-year-old lived with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon.

She disappeared on December 17 after going for Christmas drinks with her colleagues at the Ram pub. Her frozen body was found dumped on a verge in a lane in Failand, north Somerset, on Christmas Day.

She had been strangled and her body was clothed apart from a sock which was missing, while her phone, purse, keys, boots and coat were all found back at her £200,000 flat.

Police also found two bottles of cider, and the receipt for a Tesco pizza, which tests showed was not eaten by Miss Yeates, and has never been found.

She left an estate worth £47,000 – including money she had hoped to use to buy a house with her boyfriend.

Miss Yeates was saving to buy a home with Mr Reardon, her boyfriend who spearheaded a media campaign to find his girlfriend and made a number of public appeals for information on her whereabouts.

Under probate laws, he will not receive the legacy because she had not written a will before her death last December.

Mrs Yeates, 58, of Ampfield, Hampshire, said: ‘Jo was a sensible girl. She had a lot of savings and a small inheritance from her grandfather. That large amount of money would have been used to buy a home.’

Mr Yeates, 63, said: ‘Jo wasn’t a spendthrift. She didn’t spend money, she saved it. Jo didn’t go clubbing or anything like that. She was very mature.’
