A 36-year-old man, charged with the murder of a Saundersfoot woman, has been told he will soon be asked to enter a plea.
The case against Arthur Pitt-Pladdy was discussed by barristers before Judge John Diehl at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Pitt-Pladdy, of no fixed address, did not attend the hearing and remains in custody.
Judge Diehl was told the prosecution case against Pitt-Pladdy would be complete by mid-December and he fixed December 19 as the date when the charge would be put to the defendant.
Ms. Kim Butler, a 44-year-old mother, was found stabbed to death in her flat in Saundersfoot in August.
