A man has appeared in court charged with the “predatory” murder of a primary school teacher.
Koci Selamaj allegedly used a 2ft (0.6m) long weapon to repeatedly strike Sabina Nessa, 28, who was attacked on 17 September, the Old Bailey heard.
The court was told he then carried her away unconscious. Her body was found covered in leaves in Cator Park, Kidbrooke, the next day.
Selamaj, 36, who lives in East Sussex, was remanded in custody.
A post-mortem examination has yet to confirm the exact cause of her death but the attack was said to have involved “extreme violence”.
Ms Nessa had been making her way to meet a friend at The Depot bar in Kidbrooke Village but never arrived.
Dressed in a prison-issue green and yellow top, garage worker Selamaj, who is originally from Albania, appeared by video link from Wormwood Scrubs assisted by an interpreter.
