A man charged with the murder of a young mum could face trial in October after appearing in court today.
Holly Sanchez, 32, was found dead outside a bungalow in Oates Walk in Tilgate, Crawley after suffering fatal head injuries.
Ryan Evans appeared at Lewes Crown Court today charged with her murder.
The bearded 30-year-old, who lives in Oates Walk, wore grey sweatshirt and jogging bottoms for the brief hearing.
Two other men aged 37 and 60 were also arrested on suspicion of murder and released on police bail.
All three men are from Crawley and were known to Holly.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said the mum of four was found deceased at a bungalow in Oates Walk around 9am on Saturday, May 13.
A post-mortem revealed she died of serious head injuries.
