The Hitchin woman accused of murdering 26-year-old Nicola Collingbourne in Letchworth has been remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at Luton Crown Court today.

Yvonne Caylor, 52, from Grove Road in Hitchin, appeared at Hatfield Remand Court yesterday.

Police arrested her on suspicion of murder on Thursday and charged her with the crime on Saturday.

Nicola’s body was discovered on Tuesday last week at Ivel Court on the Jackmans estate, where she lived.
