THE husband of a woman who had been reported missing has admitted murdering her.

Christopher Kerrell, who is 35 and of Whitton, near Knighton, pleaded guilty at Merthyr Crown Court today.

His wife, 28-year-old mum of three Hollie Kerrell, was reported missing in April this year from the couple’s home in Knucklas near Knighton.

Her body was found four days after she had been reported missing.

Judge Mr Justice Morriss told Kerrell he can expect to be jailed for life when he is sentenced, likely to be next week.
