A woman who denies murdering her mother has had a new date set for her trial.

Kauthar Silvera was due to stand trial at Oxford Crown Court in February this year for allegedly killing 52-year-old Vittoria Baker.

But the 29-year-old, of Friars Wharf, Oxford, had her case delayed and yesterday a new date of July 23 was set for her trial.

Before this there will be another hearing on June 25 at the crown court.

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

Silvera was remanded in custody.
