West Bromwich man told he will have to enter guilty or not guilty plea about murder of Shara Miller next month
The man accused of murdering Shara Miller has appeared in court for a preliminary hearing this morning (Friday).
Tanveer Singh, of Leopard Lane, West Bromwich, appeared at Birmingham Crown Court in front of Justice Simon Drew KC.
Singh, 31, appeared at Birmingham Crown Court due to Wolverhampton Crown Court not having a judge of high enough standing sitting today.
Wearing a grey sweatshirt, Singh was only asked to confirm his name.
The hearing set dates for the legal proceedings in the murder case. Singh will be expected to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty the next time he appears in court in September.
Judge Drew KC said: "I am adjourning your case until September 12 in Wolverhampton Crown Court. You will be expected to enter a plea on that date.
"You are remanded in custody until that hearing."
