Gemma Watts, 48, of Holmbury Grove, Forestdale in Croydon, and Steven Samson, 44, of Burnell Road in Sutton, have made their court appearance at Bromley Magistrates’ Court, facing charges related to the murder of 38-year-old Sarah Mayhew.
The defendants appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon (April 9) to answer charges of murdering Mayhew and preventing the lawful burial of her body in New Addington. Watts, previously misidentified as Gemma Saundercock by the Met Police, displayed a black eye during the proceedings, alongside Samson, who attended via a video link from Lewisham Police Station. Both affirmed their identities but spoke only to confirm their identities at the outset of the hearing.
