A FEOCK wife accused of murdering her husband appeared at Truro Crown Court this afternoon for a preliminary hearing.
Marion Siobhan Hughes, 58, of Collinge, Trolver Croft, Feock, is charged with the murder of her husband, Geraint Hughes, known as Gary.
There was no application for bail when Mrs Hughes appeared before High Court Judge Mr Justice Burnett, who has been sitting at the Edward Street court all week.
Sean Brunton, for the Crown Prosecution Service, set a timetable for a plea and case management hearing – where Mrs Hughes will be expected to enter her plea of guilty or not guilty to the charge.
Mr Brunton said: "The matter appeared before magistrates earlier on today and it has come before this court for a preliminary hearing because your lordship was in residence and it was felt expedient to do so."
Mrs Hughes, who was remanded in custody, is due to appear before a crown court again on March 20 but the venue will be set at a later date.
Mr Hughes was found dead at his home in Feock last Friday morning by police.
