A Wembley man accused of killing wealthy oil executive Carole Waugh admitted today attempting to dispose of her body.

Miss Waugh, originally from Durham, was reported missing by her family on May 7 and had not been seen since mid-April.
Her body was found stabbed inside a car in a lock-up garage in Lime Court, New Malden, on August 2.
