A man charged with murdering a young Lithuanian mother-of-five who was found dead in a country park lake last week was described in court today as the victim's husband and the father of her children.
Andrius Vengalis, 46, who lived with his wife Egle Vengaliene, 35, has been remanded in custody by Suffolk magistrates in Ipswich.
Ms Vengaliene, who was said to be from Rokiškis and was described by loved ones as a 'good mother', was found dead early last Friday morning in the water next to a care home at Brandon Country Park in Suffolk.
Prosecuting, Wayne Ablett told magistrates a preliminary post-mortem examination had found a wound to the neck and ligature marks, but ultimately indicated that the most likely cause of death would be drowning.
