The father of a murdered recently-married woman from Nottinghamshire has been charged with her killing.

Mr Terry Rodgers, 55, looked pale and drawn as he faced magistrates over the death of hairdresser Chanel Taylor, weeks after giving her away at her wedding.

He is alleged to have shot the 23-year-old at her home in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire.

Rodgers, who was living with his daughter and her new husband Lee, was arrested in woodlands outside Hucknall, Notts, two days ago.

He stammered slightly as he gave his name to the court during a short hearing before Mansfield magistrates today.

The former security man, who had a grey trimmed beard and several tattoos, sat in the glass-fronted dock wearing a white T-shirt and blue tracksuit bottoms.

The body of Mrs Taylor was discovered by her new husband at around 1 p.m. on July 30th at the home they shared in New Street.

Rodgers did not enter a plea to the single charge of murder and no application for bail was made by his defence counsel.
