Man charged with murder of India

A MAN has appeared in court charged with murdering a woman aged 20 who was found strangled at his home.

Edward Tenniswood, 51, who is accused of killing India Chipchase ( above) at the weekend, was remanded in custody at Northampton’s magistrates court.

The alleged killer, wearing slip-on shoes and a grey top and jogging bottoms, spoke only to confirm that he understood the charge against him during a two-minute hearing.

Tenniswood was ordered to appear before a crown court judge via a prison videolink tomorrow.

Miss Chipchase was last seen alive early on Saturday morning.

Inquiries into her disappearance led police to Tenniswood’s home in the St James area of the town, where India’s body was discovered on Sunday night.
