A jury has been sworn in for the trial of a West Bromwich man accused of killing a sex worker in Smethwick.
Shara Millar’s body was found off Woodburn Road in Smethwick shortly after 6.10am on August 11, last year prompting a police appeal to the public for information and camera footage.
The man accused of her murder, Tanveer Singh, aged 31, of Leopard Lane, West Bromwich, will stand trial in a case expected to get underway today (Wednesday) heard by Judge Michael Chambers KC and which is expected to last just over a week.
Singh has already pleaded not guilty to the murder of Ms Miller, who was 41 and from Lincolnshire.
