THE husband of Natalie Williams has appeared in court charged with murdering her.
Randle Williams, 42, of Greenland Mills, Bradford-on-Avon, appeared before North West Wiltshire magistrates in Chippenham yesterday morning.
He was arrested just before 8am on Wednesday, and charged later that day with murder.
Williams, a self-employed computer software engineer, is charged with murdering his 33-year-old wife between April 21 and 24.
Wearing a black jacket and white open-necked shirt, Williams spoke only once during the court hearing to confirm his name and date of birth.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Bristol Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on May 10.
Mrs Williams's body was recovered from the River Avon close to her home on April 24.
An inquest into her death was opened and adjourned by Wiltshire Coroner David Masters on Wednesday.
