Fifteen members of Marion’s close family were in court to see Reader, wearing a grey tracksuit, make his first appearance before magistrates.

During the short 11am hearing, Reader spoke only to confirm his name and address.

No bail application was made at this morning’s hearing.

Reader, 69, was remanded in custody and will appear again before Northampton Crown Court on Monday.
