Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak is to appear in court charged with the murder of landscape architect Joanna Yeates. Police have charged year-old Vincent Tabak with the murder of landscape architect Joanna Yeates, just over a month after her disappearance. A year-old man suspected of murdering the Bristol architect Joanna Yeates is being questioned for a third day. Police investigating the death of landscape architect Joanna Yeates are granted a further extension to continue questioning a year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder.
A year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Joanna Yeates, Avon and Somerset Police say. Scientists also confirmed she had not eaten the Tesco Finest pizza she bought on the night of her death. Miss Yeates's last meal was at lunchtime on 17 December, which she had shared with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon.
Following his arrest on 20 January, Tabak gave several prepared statements to police. In one, the court heard, he said: "I did not know Joanna Yeates. I have never spoken to her or Greg Reardon.
He went on to explain what he was doing on the night she disappeared. He had left his flat to see if he could take pictures of the snow, the court heard, but did not do so because the snow "was dirty". During the opening day of the trial on Monday, the court was told he then went shopping at Asda in the Bedminster area of Bristol, with Miss Yeates's body in the boot of his car.
Fibres found on Miss Yeates' body indicated she had come into contact with Tabak's black coat and his silver Renault Megane. He said Miss Yeates's blood had also been found in the boot of the car.

Miss Yeates's size five Asics running shoes had been left stacked in the yellow-painted entrance hall alongside her snow boots. The jury then walked into the living room, witnessing the scene of a couple preparing for Christmas. There was a roll of unused wrapping paper under a table, an unopened box of Christmas crackers and shelves adorned with tinsel.
On the shelves in the couple's living room were puzzle games and memorabilia from the cult sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, including a picture montage with cast members and personal messages to "Jo and Greg". Despite a damp smell after 10 months without heating in the basement flat, the layout of the living room remained untouched with a white two-seater sofa and dark blue L-shaped seating with white cushions.
There were obvious signs of police attempts to gather DNA evidence, with red dots and dust residue showing where detectives had found fingerprints.
Also on show was a bowl of Love Hearts sweets, postgraduate architecture notes, a box of pain killers, letters from a bank and a box of Christmas cards. Carpets had been removed by police but the couple's double bed and duvet remained with two wardrobes full of clothes and a bedside table adorned with perfumes, make-up and cuddly toys.
There was a half-used pink bottle of Lacoste fragrance as well as ornate boxes for her hairpins and brushes.
