A MAN accused of murdering a 32-year-old woman days before Christmas has made a brief appearance in court.

The 49-year-old is accused of murdering Kayleigh Dunning at his flat on December 17, last year. He has denied the charge.

Brandford, who is remanded in custody, was transported from prison to attend a case management meeting with his defence counsel.
