The husband of vet Julie Tottle's been remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates charged with her murder earlier this month.

Forty-four year old Stephen Hotson, who's been in hospital after falling from an upstairs window during the incident, didn't enter a plea.

He's also been charged with arson at a property on the same Julie died from head injuries following a sustained attack.

He'll now appear at Bristol Crown Court next Thursday.
