An estate agent has pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder.

David Clark, 49, of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, is accused of killing his wife on New Year’s Day.

Melanie Clark, 44, was found dead after a suspected knife injury at a property in Bromsgrove on January 1.

The case will now proceed to trial and is scheduled to last two weeks, beginning on June 4 at Worcester Crown Court, according to the Stratford-upon-Avon Herald.

Clark worked at estate agent Sheldon Bosley Knight, based in Stratford-upon-Avon.

He is believed to have worked there in 2013 before leaving in 2016 and rejoining the company last year.
