A man appeared in court today charged with murdering his girlfriend, who was found dead at a West Sussex flat.

Christopher Moxon, 24, was arrested at his parents' home in Cuckfield Road, Burgess Hill, on Saturday and appeared before magistrates at Chichester today.

He is alleged to have murdered 21-year-old Natalie Scott at a flat in Kyoto Court, Bognor, between February 6 and 8.

Miss Scott was found dead last Friday night after failing to turn up for work at an insurance company based in Bognor. She had stab wounds.

Moxon was remanded in custody to appear at Lewes Crown Court on February 19.
