The man suspected of murdering Watford bin man Gary Bennett in an Elstree park will face trial at St Albans Crown Court next week.

Mr Bennett was found with severe head injuries in Aldenham Country Park in Dagger Lane on February 24.

Julian Felisi, 37, was arrested and charged with his murder in March and has remained in police custody.

Mr Felisi, of Whippendell Road, Watford, pleaded not guilty to the charge at a hearing in May and a two-week trial is scheduled to begin on Monday.

The pair both worked as bin men for Watford Borough Council, at the Wiggenhall Road depot.
