Husband accused of murdering wife to be put on trial next year
Robin Garbutt, 45, denies killing Diana, 40, whose body was found in their home above Melsonby Post Office, North Yorkshire, in March.
His trial was due to start yesterday but last week a judge granted him bail and said a new date would have to be fixed.
