A father has today denied murdering his teenage daughter who has been missing for more than six months.
Bernadette Walker, 17, from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, remains unaccounted for since she was reported missing in July last year.
Her father, Scott, pleaded not guilty to her murder during a virtual hearing at St Albans Crown Court on Friday, a court official said.
He is jointly charged, together with his 38-year-old wife Sarah, with two counts of perverting the course of justice.
