THE man accused of murdering New Addington 12-year-old Tia Sharp is due to appear in court this morning (Friday).
Stuart Hazell, the partner of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp, is charged with the schoolgirl's murder and scheduled to appear before the Old Bailey today, for a plea and case management hearing.
Tia's body was found in the loft of her grandmother's house in The Lindens, New Addington, on August 10 last year - a week after she was first reported missing.
Mrs Sharp was initially arrested in connection with the death of her grandaughter but later cleared of any involvement, while her neighbour Paul Meehan, 40, appeared in court last week, charged with wasting police time.
