Sion Jenkins arrived with his new wife at the Old Bailey yesterday before learning his retrial for the murder of his foster daughter, Billie-Jo, had been postponed for two weeks.
Former deputy headteacher Jenkins, 47, looked relaxed as he entered court with art dealer wife Christina Ferneyhough.
Jenkins, who is on conditional bail, spoke only to confirm his name during the brief hearing.
The jury will now be selected on April 20 at the start of the retrial, which is expected to last eight weeks.
Billie-Jo was bludgeoned to death in February, 1997 at the family's Victorian home in Lower Park Road, Hastings.
Jenkins denied killing her but was jailed for life in 1998 for her murder.
However, Appeal Court judges quashed his conviction at the second attempt following a nine-day hearing last July.
