A MAN accused of murdering his wife has been refused bail.
Mr Justice Flaux decided after a preliminary hearing at Worcester Crown Court that 34-year-old Alan Evans, of Stoney Lane, Kidderminster, should stay in custody before a trial in September.
Evans is charged with the murder of Louise Evans, 32-year-old mother-of-three, on July 10 last year. She was found dead at the foot of the stairs at their home.
Evans will be asked to enter a plea at a hearing on June 14. The trial is estimated to last four weeks.
