A woman who denies murdering her mother has had her trial delayed.

Kauthar Silvera was due to stand trial in Oxford Crown Court yesterday accused of killing 52-year-old Vittoria Baker.

But the 29-year-old, of Friars Wharf, Oxford, instead had her case adjourned for another hearing on April 2, when a new date for the trial could be set.

Ms Baker’s body was found in her flat in Friars Wharf in August last year.
