TWO men accused of killing Dudley woman Julia Rawson have denied murder.
Nathan Maynard-Ellis and David Leesley both pleaded not guilty to murdering Julia Rawson in a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court on July 25.
Julia was last seen alive in Dudley town centre on May 12 and the disappearance of the 42-year-old sparked a police hunt, with officers searching canals in Dudley and Tipton.
Her body was discovered in Tipton on June 12.
Maynard-Ellis, aged 29, of Mission Drive, Tipton and Leesley, aged 24, of Dereton Close, Dudley, were both remanded in custody and will attend a further hearing on October 14.
